General
Elliott was really good after school today and it sounded like he'd had a good day with his friends in the end. He also said that he and Harry Smith had controlled the weather and decided it should be sunny in the end. He seemed less tired today and stayed asleep this morning until I woke him up at 7.10am.
Activities
Pick up was earlier than expected as athletics was cancelled following the rain. This was a shame as the weather was nice by the time school finished and Elliott wanted to do athletics. After we got home we watched some Wallace and Grommit before Elliott did his homework for this week. This was adding -ing to the end of words and deciding whether the word just needed an -ing, or whether an e should be deleted first (e.g. "hoping") or whether the last letter needed doubling (e.g. "winning"). He did pretty well with this, although I did help him a bit. After his homework he had some toast for tea and then we went out to the flat's garden and did some football training of our own to make up for having a break from Woodley Wanderer football training. We practiced using left foot and goalkeeping and he did really well. After football training we had a leisurely bath and then he read his school book "Trouble in the Rockies", before I read him another chapter of his Jack Stalwart book while he was in bed.

Roast chicken
General
Elliott was a little up and down today but this wasn't surprising given that he was tired from the sleepover.
Activities
In the morning I picked him from Charlie's house at about 10am and Natalie said he'd been good. She said there had been one incident where he'd got quite upset which happened because they were all bouncing up and down on an air mattress together and Elliott got knocked accidentally. It sounded like he'd had a good time and he came home with some new GoGos, however he was a little tired. We had a lazy rest of the morning watching television and playing with his new GoGos before we had sandwiches for lunch.
After lunch we had a lazy afternoon and then went to Andrea's Mum and Dad's house for a roast chicken meal for tea which he had some broccoli with. During the afternoon he got quite upset twice about small things (not having time to ride his bike and not having time to play on the phone), which I think was his tiredness magnifying the emotions. After the roast meal we came home and he had a quick bath before going to bed and hopefully getting a good nights sleep ahead of school tomorrow.

Summer League football tournament
General
Elliott was good today.
Activities
In the morning it was the summer league football tournament at Goals. I thought he played really well when he did play and considering how much waiting around between games there was he was really well behaved. It's a shame there wasn't a bit more football for him to play as he didn't play anything more than a normal Saturday match, just stretched across 4 hours. After the football we headed home for a quick lunch of wraps and packing for the sleepover at Charlie's house.
After lunch we headed off to Charlie's house for the party and he was in very good spirits when I dropped him off with a change of clothes, nightwear, teddies, a sleeping bag and a toothbrush.

The Secret World of Lego
General
Elliott was good after school today. However when I picked him up he was upset after another GoGo incident where Isaac found one of his GoGos in the playground and wouldn't give it back. Unfortunately a sad looking Isaac had lost his GoGo bag and all his GoGos after school so we couldn't sort out the problem and Elliott was quite upset as it was his favourite GoGo. As he calmed down we had a chat about trying to keep GoGos in perspective and that they were meant to for fun not upset and he was really responsive and after cheering up hasn't let it rankle at all.
Activities
After school we went to Tescos to buy a card and present for Charlie's party tomorrow and then home for some toast. After tea we watched "The Secret World of Lego" together while Elliott also played with some Lego. Then it was bath time and before bed time he read some of his school book "Trouble in the Rockies".

Exercises
General
Elliott was pretty good after school today although he did try and draw out bed time for quite a long time. I ended up having to tell him off to try and motivate him and he got quite upset, but after he calmed down we talked about why taking a long time to get ready for bed isn't a good thing for the sleep he need. He also said he'd found maths hard again today but we talked about trying his best and practicing and he also pointed out himself that he finds literacy much easier than lots of his friends who find maths easier than him.
Activities
After school we went straight to swimming and he said he enjoyed himself. After we got home we had lots of different kinds of GoGo battles. Then he helped me do some exercises and we had tea. He didn't need a bath as he had a shower after swimming so then he read some of his school books and then when I asked him to put his pyjamas on he started taking a long time to take toys back in to his room, etc. After everything had calmed down I read him another chapter from his latest Jack Stalwart book and then it was time for bed.
