General
Elliott was good after school today. He had won some Cadburys Buttons in a gymnastic competition and so he was in good spirits. He did get a bit grouchy after tea but I think this was the heat and he cheered up after having some quiet time in his room.
Activities
We went swimming after school and after the lesson this week he decided to try a white chocolate Magnum. He eat a decent amount but couldn't finish it. Then he had some toast for tea and after tea he watched some Stampy Cat explaining Minecraft on the iPad before doing his homework (which was to separate words that make 2 words like "goldfish", and to make smaller words out of "caterpillar", which he made 10 words from). Then he got changed into pyjamas for bed and he did lots of reading of his school book "Small Bad Wolf", which he finished, and his new school book "Algy's Amazing Adventures in the Arctic", which he started and is quite long. The he got into bed and I read him another chapter of his Jack Stalwart book.

Dinton Pastures
General
Elliott was really good today.
Activities
After he arrived in the morning we played with GoGos and then headed off to MacDonalds for lunch on the way to Dinton Pastures with his bike.
When we got Dinton we found out that his bike had a puncture in the back tyre so we went to Halfords to get it fixed before coming back to Dinton again. With the repaired bike Elliott went for quite a long bike ride before spending lots of time playing in the play park on the equipment as well, including some quite high monkey bars that he mastered:
After Dinton Pastures we headed home and then to a friend's house just around the corner for a barbeque. There were other children there including Joshua who is Elliott's age who he'd met once before. They played football and cricket together in the garden with various Dads joining in and got on really well. After he'd had a burger, hot dog and some potato wedges he and Joshua swapped Minecraft tips and showed each other their Minecraft creations on the phones, before then messing around together for a while longer. Then we headed home and, as it was already bed time, he agreed to have his bath in the morning and went straight to bed.

Ice lolly
General
Elliott was good after school today. Also in his book bag there was a letter inviting him to sing at Addington School on the morning of Friday 17th July in the "all at sea" music event. The letter said only 28 people from Hawkedon had been invited and he was invited because of his enthusiasm and contribution during music lessons.
Activities
After school it was straight to swimming and after swimming this week he had an orange ice lolly as a treat as he's practicing eating ice lollies (and getting quite good at it). We popped in Waitrose on the way home to pick up and order and then after we got home he played with Star Wars toys and watched Thunderbirds Are Go. After toast for tea he changed into his pyjamas, read some of his new school book "Star Crazy" and I read him another chapter of his Jack Stalwart book.

Football training in the garden
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.
