Dentist and haircut
General
Elliott was really good today especially considering he had a haircut and dental check up.
Activities
In the morning, after some playing with Transformers, we went in to Wokingham where we both got hair cuts. Elliott had his hair styled with gel and looked like a footballer. He also enjoyed watching me have my ear hair burnt off with a flaming cotton bud. We went home for lunch and had burgers and chips while we watched the film version of Paddington which he enjoyed.
After lunch we went to the Dentists and he had a check up. The Dentist used tools in his mouth to count his teeth and then cleaned his teeth and he didn't flinch and was really good. She did say he needs to clean his teeth for a bit longer each time (at least 2 minutes) now he has some grown up teeth so we're now timing teeth cleaning with the phone. After we got home we watched some Dragons and he had toast for tea before bath time and an extra long time brushing his teeth. After his bath we read another chapter of his new, London based Jack Stalwart book together and he watched 10 minutes of iPad again before bed time.

Cricket
General
Elliott was good again today.
Activities
We had another lazy morning and Elliott played with Lego and Star Wars toys and watching his Scooby Doo DVD. We had pasta with tomato and ham sauce for lunch with some garlic bread as well.
After lunch we went to the park and played cricket and Elliott played on the equipment. We both had fun and it was good to be outside in the nice weather. On the way home we popped in to The Ship for the second half of the Liverpool verses Stoke game and Elliott watched Shaun the Sheep on his iPad and had some sparkling apple juice. After we got home he had ham and cheese toasties for tea and then a bath. After his bath we started reading a new Jack Stalwart book together before he watched 10 minutes of iPad before bed time.

Lego Star Wars Geonosis Troopers
General
Elliott was good today.
Activities
We had a lazy morning unpacking, playing with Match Attax cards, looking at Elliott's new Elliott Spencer Match Attax card (ordered online) and watching some Deadly 60.
After a snack lunch we went to Tescos shopping and Elliott bought a new Lego Star Wars Geonosis Troopers set and a Lego Star Wars magazine with his pocket money. After we got home he made his new set and the mini X-Wing Fighter that came free with the magazine and we had spaghetti bolognese for tea. Then it was bath, some iPad watching EvanTubeHD and then it was bed time.

Pedalo
General
Elliott was mainly good today, although he did get upset out of proportion at one stage about not being able to plant cricket stumps into the ground. We had a chat about whether it was worth being upset about and he did agree he had over reacted.
Activities
In the morning we headed back to Sheffield and spent the morning at a farm and park with Ethan and Victoria. We looked at the animals and then played more cricket and tennis before having a picnic lunch and then having a go on a bouncy castle slide that was in the park as well:
Elliott enjoyed playing with Ethan, who is about the same age as Libby, and was really good with him. Although at one stage he did wonder why Ethan couldn't play cricket properly.
After lunch we said our goodbyes and then headed off home. We stopped at Millhouses Park on the way for some more cricket and tennis but also to have a go on a pedalo in the boating lake there which was good fun. On our way home we stopped at a McDonalds for tea. After we got home it was straight to bed for Elliott with a quick chapter of Jack Stalwart to help him go to sleep quickly.
