My gorgeous little boy came home three weeks ago yesterday and we had the first Looked After Review today.
I was just wondering if others found them tough. My son was not at all happy about the home invasion - there were five visitors (only one of whom he had met before - his sw). He sucks two fingers to comfort himself which he did quite a lot during intros but this has really disappeared apart from when he is v tired but his fingers never left his mouth this morning. Made me feel like a fraud when I was saying that things were going well and he generally seems happy - fortunately my sw arrived first and saw him having fun with me.
He did not settle very easily tonight and I am expecting quite a lot of night time waking. Fortunately the next review has been arranged for a time when he should be asleep.
On a more positive note when we went out for a walk this afternoon it struck me how much nicer the world seems with my boy. He is very smiley and so as we walk around lots of people are smiling back and life feels pretty good. Got a feeling I will need to remember this thought at 2, 3 and 4 this morning!
