We went to the Forbury family day at Forbury gardens. It was great fun, even though it could have been a bit sunnier.

We went on to shop at the Oracle. At this point Dad's watch stopped, so we can only guess that we must have spent three hours in the Disney Shop. Nathan certainly looked at every single item in the shop. He's becoming a bit of a shopaholic.

A quiet day at home. Nathan was reading one of daddy's books and made up his own story.

"Lady took it away. [She] didn't want it anymore. The end"

• Try crunchy vegetables: Carrot, red pepper, celery, radish, cucumber. Also salami.
• Try offering pieces of bread and butter & ham and/or cheese instead of sandwiches.
• Try only taking foods we want Nathan to eat when providing for a snack away from home.
• As for the constipation (which is probably caused because Nathan is holding it in), reward for a poo: perhaps read from a special book, or a sticker.

After that we went to Hickory Dickory Dock, which was good, as usual.

Then into town for a spot of shopping. Nathan's been sleeping poorly recently. He keeps lying on his arm and sending it to sleep, then waking up crying, so by 3:00pm he was exhausted, and had a fairly horrible tantrum. Everyone in town was sympathetic but it's still a wearing experience, even with the best boy in the world.

Today we went to Maiden Erlegh toddler group, then onto Whoosh! with some little friends.

They particularly enjoy putting money into the charity box by the door of the Bracknell Leisure centre as we leave. The box is designed so that the money goes round and round into a whirlpool before disappearing into the hole at the bottom.
