Elliott was good after school today.
Activities
Elliott spent some time after school in the playground playing with Charlie, Marley and Adam. Then on our way home we popped in to the Post Office to post a package and the supermarket. He was really good and in the supermarket he got hold of the shopping list and pen and showed me how he can write "the" and "to" which I thought was good based on what you said after your morning at school yesterday. After we got home we played with lego and Hot Shot.

Swindon
General
Elliott was good today, although he was shy at football and didn't join in, but I'm not sure this is bad behaviour as such.
Activities
In the morning we went to football. Unfortunately I got lost on the way (missed my normal turning and then got confused) so we arrived after the session had started. Because of this Elliott was a bit put off joining in and we spent the first quarter of an hour playing with Adam's Dad, Isla and Freya while Adam's Dad, Charlie's Nanny and I all gave encouraging Elliott to join in a go. This wasn't very successful and I didn't want to push it in case it put him off even more. So I offered the option of going to a pitch next door and just playing football with me and he chose this - so we did lots of kicking and running around anyway. After the session ended we then went back in to the right pitch and he kicked a ball around with Adam for a bit (Charlie left pretty quickly after the session ended). After we got back into the car Elliott explained that after arriving late he felt a bit scared to join in. So I explained gently that it was my fault and I was sorry and that it shouldn't stop him joining in if he wants to, but again I didn't want to push it. I will be making sure I'm there a bit early in future though.
After football we went to Swindon to visit Richard, Kay, Nicholas and Emily Couldidge. This was a really nice afternoon. We had an "indoor picnic" lunch and then there was lots of indoor and outdoor playing, including playing some memory games. He was really good and they all played very nicely together.

Libby's party
General
Elliott was good today, although at bedtime he dropped a hardback book on his good toe so he was upset by that for a few minutes.
Activities
In the morning we had a lazy time playing with lego and listening to music. He was excited about Libby's party and seeing Charlie.
After the party we played with his new Ninja Turtle lego and had pasta with bacon for tea.

Flamewar
General
Elliott was good after school today.
Activities
We went shopping on the way home and Elliott was really good. He bought a new little Transformer with his pocket money, a girl motorbike Transformer - Flamewar. We had pizza for tea and played with lego a lot.

Dentist visit
General
Elliott was good after school today.
Activities
We went straight from the school to the dentist in Caversham. Elliott was really well behaved and talked nicely to the Dentist when he asked him questions. He didn't seem too phased and afterwards he seemed to have enjoyed the chair that "transformed" into a bed. His teeth are very good apparently. After the Dentist we went to cycle club. He did really well for a while and is really making progress. But then he got a bit tired of trying - I think because some of the other children there were cycling past him and finding it easier and he seemed to get disheartened a little by this. So we've agreed to keep practicing but just me and him for a while until he feels ready to go back and whizz around the athletics track at Palmer Park.
