General
Elliott was really good today apart from getting upset that the rain stopped him from showing off his cycling skills more for Granny and Grandpa.
Activities
We had a lazy morning dancing and singing to "Everything Is Awesome" from The Lego Movie and playing with Lego and Star Wars toys. Then we met up with Granny and Grandpa for lunch in Pizza Express in Reading. Elliott had dough balls and burro pasta and ate very well with nothing left.
After lunch we went to Waterstones and Granny and Grandpa bought Elliott some new books - a Peter Rabbit book, a Star Wars sticker book and an Eye Spy book for car journeys. Then we went to Palmer Park so Elliott could show Granny and Grandpa his cycling. Unfortunately this didn't last very long because of a heavy shower of rain and he was a bit upset he didn't get to show them more cycling (and spend more time cycling). Then it was off to swimming lesson which Granny and Grandpa came to watch and he did really well as usual - plus because it was half term there were only 3 children there so he got lots of time with the teacher. Then it was home for tea and he read his Peter Rabbit book really well before bed.

Dentist
General
Elliott was good for most of today. He did get upset in the afternoon when he wanted a toy In Tescos and I said no and he kept asking if he could have one, but he calmed down after a firm explanation.
Activities
In the morning we played with some games at Granny and Grandpas house before setting off back to Reading to go to the Dentist. The Dentist visit went really well and he sat in the chair and opened his mouth wide with no problems at all. The Dentist said that he had a wobbly tooth in his lower teeth and gave him a special envelope to put it in for the tooth fairy when it falls out. He also got a Spiderman sticker which went down very well.
After the Dentist we popped into Tescos where he got a little demanding over wanting a toy but did calm down quickly. After Tescos it was home for a pizza tea, playing and reading.

Lego City policeman, police motorcycle and robber
General
Elliott was good all day today and only got upset once when he accidentally dropped some Lego on his eye which would have hurt a little (but he also calmed down very quickly).
Activities
We played with Lego and and toy animals for most of the morning. We also did some bird and squirrel watching in Granny and Grandpa's garden as they have new bird feeding equipment that squirrels sometimes help themselves to. We also popped out to Tescos to buy a new Lego set with his pocket money - a Lego City policeman with motorbike and robber set. He made this set completely by himself. Then we had Roast Chicken for lunch and he ate this very nicely, although didn't have any vegetables in the end.
After lunch we did quite a lot of colouring with various colouring books and some pictures on plain paper (Star Wars based). We also practiced a little hand writing. Granny helped us with this as well. Then we read some stories and jokes from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle magazine. And of course more playing with Lego.

The Lego Movie
General
Elliott was good for all of today. After the Lego Movie he and Harry Higgins were a little hyper (from sweets I think) and there were a few times when he went from being upset with something Harry had done to giggling non stop but with some encouragement he calmed down quickly.
Activities
We had a lazy morning with Granny and Grandpa playing with Starguards and Aliens and other space toys and watching cartoon network. Unfortunately I got called on to do some work following up the storms from the night before so Granny and Grandpa took the lead for a while, but he was really good and they were able to join in with his imagination running wild.
After lunch we went to Salisbury where we met up with Charlie Sladen, Harry Higgins and their Dads and then went to the cinema to see The Lego Movie. Everyone enjoyed the film (it is quite good) and I Elliott was talking about definitely wanting to see it again with you. After the film finished we went for some coffees and waters (for the boys) and they had fun together, though were a little buoyed up by sweet intake I think. However they could have been a lot worse. Then it was back to Granny and Grandpas for tea, bath and bed and he was really good and also got very involved playing with my old Lego and explaining the plot of the film to Granny and Grandpa.

Driving to Downton
General
Elliott said he'd had a good day at school and we talked about what a good parents evening he'd had and how much he'd improved and how brilliant that was. He had fish and chips for lunch.
Activities
We drove back to Downton to see Granny and Grandpa after school. The conditions weren't great so we took it slowly and it took a while, but we arrived with enough time to have some toast and cheese and a bath before 7.30pm bedtime. He was in good spirits to see Granny and Grandpa and chatted with them loads about school, Lego and Libby.
