Harry Higgins in Durrington

General 

Elliott was good for most of today. However there were some moments while we were with Harry and he had a time out at the Higgins house as he was using silly behaviour to get his own way again. I did get him to admit again when he apologised that silly behaviour didn't get him what he wanted. 

Activities

In the morning we played at Granny's house and went for some elevenses at Waitrose on the way to visit Harry Higgins in his new house in Durrington. We got to the Higgins house around 11am and played there with Harry and Albert inside and outside for a while. Then Lara left to see her Dad and we all had a nice lunch. 

After lunch we scootered to the playground in Durrington where Elliott, Harry and Albert all played together. After quite a long time playing we also visited the skate ramps in the park on scooters for some supervised fun which both Elliott and Harry seemed to really enjoy. After we got back from the park we watched some Tom and Jerry before heading back to Reading for tea, bath and bed time.

The Science Museum

General 

Elliott was good for most of today. However we went shopping quickly to Asda in the morning to buy rolls for lunch and he got very upset that we didn't "borrow a toy", even though I told him we'd be borrowing one later when we went to the Science Museum. In the end I had to leave Andrea to buy the shopping and take him out for a time out on a bench in the mall outside Asda. It took him about 5 minutes to sit down properly for the time out, but after he did he said sorry for being silly and admitted that silly behaviour didn't get him what he wanted. 

Activities

In the morning we played at Andrea's flat, watched some Sonic, did some drawing and went to Asda for elevenses and to get some rolls for a packed lunch on our way to London. 

In the afternoon we went with Andrea to London to meet with Hilary Weale, my Godmother's daughter, and we all went to The Science Museum. This was a really good afternoon. There was lots to see and do and lots of button's to press. He especially enjoyed the space section, a section with some trains, cars and aeroplanes and the interactive basement that is like a swisher version of The Look Out. We also had some tea there and borrowed some a bag of space toys - figures and little rockets - as he seemed very inspired by space exploration. After our visit Elliott and I drove down to Downton to see Granny again and stay over for the evening.

Name card

General 

Elliott was good after school today and also got a tick on his name card at school for sitting nicely on the carpet. I think if he gets 4 ticks he gets a house point. 

Activities

We went to shopping and to Andrea's house after school. He was really good and enjoyed himself.

Ch

General 

Elliott was really good after school today apart from refusing to eat his pasta. 

Activities

We did some watching television, some playing and before bed we read the books he'd bought back from school and did some more "ch"ing. For tea we had rolls as pasta was the only hot option before payday and he was refusing it - in the end I thought it was better for him to eat something than nothing!

Ultimate Spider Monkey

General 

Elliott was good for most of the day, although as it was raining all day he was a bit restless just after lunch as we didn't get a chance to get outside. Nothing too bad though. He also has been using his Lypsyl quite a bit so hopefully this will help his lips at school.

Activities

In the morning we spent lots of time playing with Granny and were doing some role play pretending to pay for items in shops, etc, and some puzzles. Lots of cars as well though. We also went back to Tescos and Granny wasn't feeling very well and I got him another little Ben 10 figure ("Ultimate Spider Monkey").

After lunch we watched a mixture of football (Liverpool verses Manchester United) and Shaun The Sheep, whilst playing on the iPad before heading back to Reading for some playtime and then bath and bed.
