To tell you about my first night with my son?

Ok awful use of AIBU so I apologise but just wanted to share Grin

Bought home my long awaited, much loved adopted 12 month old baby boy yesterday!

He fell asleep in his cot at 7pm - usually sleeps all the way through to 7am but woke up at 3am. Could hear him on the baby monitor chatting away happily to himself (so no waking up confused or scared!). Eventually started to fuss so I went in and changed his nappy as it was soaks through, changed his pyjamas and bed sheets, but he wouldn't settle back in his cot so bought him back in with me and DH where he fell asleep curled up with me. At about 5am he was obviously dreaming of something funny as he was chuckling away in his sleep. We then got up about an hour ago and he is happily playing around with me and giving me cuddles after having his breakfast Smile

I know it's early days and it's likely to get harder the next few days as he starts to realise he is missing his foster carer, but omg I am so happy and in love with my little chap.

Ah you are all so kind 🥹 thank you! DS has just completed his first ever December at school! It’s always been such a hard month to get through and in Reception was when everything started with police and SS involvement, Year 1 I pulled him out at the start of the month to Home Ed pending his EHCP tribunal, and Year 2 whilst he was much more settled he still found it all very overwhelming so he spent the month at home with me. Me and his school worked super hard to ensure he wasn’t overstimulated this year and he has absolutely smashed it!

He came home with these certificates…

I’m obsessed with him. He’s been a bit of an arsehole this week 😂 but today he held my face in his hands and told me that he thinks the first thing he remembers is me loving him.

He is incredible 🥹🥰
