General
Elliott was very good for the whole day.
Activities
In the morning we had a lazy time and did some writing, concentrating on the words it and got.
After lunch we went to Coral Reef for some swimming and bought a pair of goggles. We had a really good time and he was in for ages. With the goggles on he was much more adventurous and jumped in and put his head underwater lots. He also seemed far less worried about water showering down from the many water features at Coral Reef. We did a lot of swimming including going into an outside part of the pool and a figure of eight part with currents. He also had a shower after swimming and we washed his hair and he said he'd learnt how to have a shower when he went to your Mum's leisure centre. After swimming we ate at Coral Reef. When we got home we had a pyjama party before bed time.

Lazy day
General
Elliott was good all day.
Activities
Elliott woke at around 6.30am and seemed totally normal, though said his head still hurt a little bit. We had a lazy morning in pyjamas either playing with cars and lego or watching the iPad. He ate really well at lunch and had lots of pasta with sausage (though I persuaded him it was the same as bacon).
After lunch he got dressed and we went to the Peel Centre to do some shopping. We got a Ben 10 Omniverse blind bag (transparent Rook) and a Lego Minifigure blind bag (Grandpa). After we got home we played football in the garden for quite a while and he seemed completely fine running and jumping around. He was also totally fine with bedtime routine and I haven't given him any calpol since breakfast time.

Accident and emergency
General
Elliott was really good and brave today. Unfortunately he had an accident falling off the play equipment in Jubilee Park (near The London Eye) about half an hour after we'd met up with Chas, Billy and Sid Loft and he bumped his head as part of the fall. He was quite upset afterwards but after comforting seemed to calm down. However he was quite quiet and when we went for lunch at Giraffe he said he felt tired and sick and wasn't interested in eating. So he lay across me for a while and had a rest before suddenly waking up and being sick. At that point we went to St Thomas's hospital accident and emergency to get him checked out. He was quite subdued during the short walk there, but said he felt better. However while we were being processed he was sick again. By the time we saw the Doctor he had perked up a bit but they kept us there for another 30 minutes to make sure he wasn't sick again in the 4 hour period after his fall - which would have led to a scan. During the half an hour he had some more water, kept it down and really perked up as they were showing Toy Story in the waiting room. So they let us go with some advice about what to look out for over the next 24 hours to be safe (more being sick, being hard to wake, throwing a fit).
Activities
In the morning we got the train to London to meet Billy, Sid and Chas Loft for the day. We had a really good start to the visit until the fall in the playground.
After we got the bus from the hospital to the Waterloo he seemed much more like himself and was asking for sweets, etc. On the train ride home he asked lots of questions about how trains worked and even preformed some magic (that involved me looking away for large periods of time while toy cars magically disappeared). When we got home he had some rolls for tea and seemed really hungry. He said his head still hurt a bit so he had calpol before bed, but he seemed back to his normal self and was playing with his toys and watching how to play Lego Batman on the iPad. I checked on him regularly after he fell asleep and everything was fine and normal.

Abbie and Sophie's birthday party
General
Elliott was good for most of today though he was stubborn about drinking water instead of squash at lunch time (i.e. we asked him to drink water) and he got so worked up that he had to go to his room to calm down.
Activities
In the morning we played with Lego, wrapped up the presents and wrote the cards for Abbie and Sophie and we went shopping for food. We also did some writing and reading practice and focused on the word "into" (which Miss Biscoe has already taught him) and "maps".
After lunch we went to Abbie and Sophie's birthday party at Bulmershe Gymnastics. Marley and Isaac were also there. For the first part they all ran around the gymnastic and soft play equipment and then they played some supervised games like hide and seek. Then they had a party style tea. After we got back we watched some athletics - he was interested in knowing when the diving would be but was quite engaged, especially by the 100 metres races. We also read some information from our Star Wars Lego encyclopaedia. He had Roast Pork for tea and eat really well, though only a little broccoli.

Shredder's Bike
General
Elliott was good for the whole day.
Activities
After being picked up we went to Asda to shop for presents for Abbie and Sophie. We also spent his pocket money on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Lego Shredder's Bike set that was heavily reduced. Then we had a snack in Asda's café.
After we got home we spent the day playing with the new Lego and various other toys and sorting through his art work together (I have a new file to store it in) which was good fun. We had Spaghetti Bolognese for tea and he ate it really well.
