Poor Elliot has been sick twice tonight – the4 first time he filled his bed and the second time we managed to get him to the bathroom, so he was sick on daddy and a little on himself.  The poor little mite is v sorry with himself, and will most likely sleep in mummy and daddy’s bed tonight.

Yesterday at nursery, Elliot took himself off to the toilet and participated in a number 2 delivery exercise.  It was all successful excepting that he has not yet been trained to wipe 🙁  Therefore huge skids were apparent in the underwear – I guess we need to get him on the course pretty soon.  We are also wondering why the nursery staff were not there to facilitate that particular job. 🙁

The toilet training is incredible really – Elliot is really impressing us in how quickly he has grabbed the issue and just dealt with it 🙂

So, the week is ALMOST over – we have been swimming this morning at grandma’s, we have played at home with the birthday toys – today we played with the “sandcastle” – this is Elliot speak for the castle and knights that came with it.

We went out for a Chinese meal with David, Julie and Abbie last night – Simon keeps wittering on about it being the best Chinese meal he has ever had – I guess that means we may well be going back there at some point downstream 🙂

We (following the trip to Edinburgh) ordered some replacement headrests for the estate car last week (they contain 9″ LCD screens and DVD players 🙂 ) and fitted them finally yesterday.  We also ordered a DVB-T digital TV tuner at a similar time, and this is also installed.  The headrests are an amazing colour match and the setup works really very well indeed.  And the great news – all in for £275 !!!!

Vicky has ripped into the conservatory over the last couple of days – it kind of points out just how many toys etc that the boys (read Elliot) have.  We need to really cut down, since there are a lot of things that we are now putting in the4 loft / skipping completely.  There is literally NO way Elly would even notice that they have gone.

Elly has really begun to get the hang of Mario Kart on the Wii now – only problem, he likes driving off cliffs and into water…. Not quite the right approach…..

Wishing you the very best day you could possibly have young man – all our love always and forever, mummy and daddy xxxxx

Last night, Elliot learned to play WALL-E on the Wii (thanks Auntie Jenny for loaning it to us) but also Mario Kart on the Wii.  He wouldn’t sleep because of his NEED to play on the damned Wii – mistake letting him play on it just before bed time daddy? hmmmm let’s think…. The poor little guy did have a little accident while racing though – couldn’t pull himself away from beating Wario.

We went shopping this morning and ended up buying a new Wii Wheel (steering wheel for Mario Kart) – it seems that we have already (at 2 days before his 3rd birthday) got to the stage of racing against each other in computer games 🙂

We played Wii again this afternoon, but no accidents this time 🙂

Elliot even managed to stop play to take on a #2, before continuing again… 🙂

We picked up Oliver’s new car seat yesterday (we have bought him on just like Elliot’s.  At the rate that he is growing he may well be using the damned thing really soon.

Elliot and mummy baked Elly’s birthday cake today – well, Elly got bored pretty soon, so mummy made the cake solo 🙁

Mummy and Daddy are sat, watching “Marley and Me” – very funny film so far – Pepsi and Max – so pleased they are a little older – they were definitely a lot like young Marley….
