Elliott was good again today. He did wake in the middle of the night complaining his ear hurt but after some calpol and comforting he went to back to sleep quickly. In the morning I phoned the nurse who advised to keep an eye on him for the next 48 hours and book an appointment if things got worse. However he said his ear hardly hurt for the rest of the day, although he was still coughing. I gave him more cough mixture during the day and some more calpol before bed time.
Activities
In the morning we went to see The Penguins of Madagascar at Odeon Kids Club in Bracknell with Andrea and we all really enjoyed it. Afterwards we had a quick look around the shops before heading home for sandwiches for lunch.
After lunch we watched an episode of Horrible Histories about love rats (Henry VIII, Cleopatra, William the Conqueror and Emperor Nero). Then we all went for a short jog. After the jog Elliott rode his bike in the yard and around a nearby cul-de-sac before we came in for chicken fajitas for tea. After tea it was bath time, he read "I am Batman" and watched some Team Titans on the iPad before bed time.

Football training
General
Elliott was good today. Right at the end of football he blocked a hard shot and was upset because the ball hurt which was a shame because he enjoyed the rest of the session. Also his cough has got louder and just before bed time he said his ear was hurting so I'll monitor that.
Activities
In the morning we went to football training at Woodford Park. Luckily we were able to borrow some shin pads and there were about 20 boys there including Adam, James and Javier. They did some agility exercises to begin with and then some passing and tackling exercises and Elliott really got in to them and his passing is really improving and getting quicker:
After the exercises they played a game and Elliott played at the back and in goal. He did some good tackling and some good passing but was a bit tired by the time they played. Also some of the boys had boots on which made it easier for them on the grass so by the time he blocked the shot and got hurt he'd had enough and we left just as the session was finishing. After we got home we had pasta and sausages for lunch.
After lunch we watched a Scooby Doo movie on DVD and then it was time for his swimming lesson. There were only 4 people at his swimming lesson and they practiced on their fronts and their backs. He enjoyed the lesson and afterwards had a shower. After we got home we made pancakes for tea and he especially enjoyed watching me flip the pancakes. Then he got changed for bed and read his school book ""Hola-Board Havoc" to himself before watching Teen Titans on the iPad in bed. Just before I said good night he told me his ear was hurting but he went to sleep quickly and didn't seem to be in too much discomfort.

Reading Musem
General
Elliott was really good today.
Activities
In the morning we caught the train to Reading where we met Granny at the station. Then we headed off to the toy shop and Elliott chose some Ben 10 and Big Hero 6 toys for his birthday presents from Granny. After that we went for lunch at Pizza Express and Elliott had his normal dough balls, burro pasta and chocolate brownie combination. During lunch he also showed Granny how Minecraft works on the iPad.
After lunch we to Reading Museum where Elliott did a printing activity where he drew round a rabbit stencil on some polystyrene and then painted the polystyrene before printing it on paper. He got quite into it to start with although towards the end of the session he'd had enough. After the activity we had some tea at the Museum and Granny bought him a new children's ring before she left to go home. We had a quick look around the Oracle before we also caught the train home. After we got home we had cheese on toast for tea before he had a bath and read some more of his Ben 10 book "all that glitters". Finally he watched some more Ben 10 Omniverse on the iPad before going to sleep.

No swimming
General
Elliott complained about a sore tummy today both in the morning and after school. Before school he said his tummy hurt too much for him to go to school but after talking it over he said he was fine to go to school if I gave Mrs Davies a note so she could phone me if his tummy got really bad. He managed the whole day though. After school he said his tummy hurt too much for swimming so we had a rest from swimming this week and relaxed for the evening after school. I think his tummy still hurts a bit from being winded last night but suspect he is a bit tired after hectic weekend and Monday. He had a jacket potato with cheese for lunch.
Activities
After school we watched some Teen Titans and played Top Trumps. We also read his school book and looked at his art work that he brought home from school (to clear out his tray before parents evening). He had ham and cheese wraps for tea before a leisurely bath and bed. Hopefully he will be nicely rested for tomorrow.
