Thanks all.
I know this sounds mad but nothing DS likes doing involves his hands… so he loves swimming, running, jumping, aside from eating with a fork he does very little with them, no playing with toys, no drawing, no pointing really, no movements like unwrapping, no computer games, movements with his hands are all very basic, nothing intricate or precise. DH said why would he be excited about opening toy gifts when he doesn’t like toys?? I think that’s part of it. Even if they were open Open he just doesn’t have any interest that’s the problem, in part I feel??
Day got a bit better…for all his lack of interest in toys DS does like food and often a social gathering so was happy at SILS, ate a hearty Xmas lunch and was generally ok if rather hyper. Constant jumping! But very involved which after this morning was a total relief. I took Opens advice and drank fast… I’ve probably quaffed fair too much high end champers, red and white but hey ho!
Mum and Dad been back to ours, the kids changed from posh clothes into their matching bunny onesies and we are back to normal. DS asleep, DD reading in bed with me, DH having a peaceful drink downstairs.
Thank you again and happy Christmas . As Sir Tom said, tomorrow is another day….xx
