Hi Tommy

My son managed to erase my first reply to you while we were eating toast. 😂 Take two! 🎬

Thank you for your kind words and advice! There is a lot of truth there; I am a fan of the truth.

We don’t have help from anyone. That is why he is shy. More shy than other babies. I have been away from him for a couple of hours maximum, when I go to acupuncture. That is all. He does visit friends and family, as well as go to his classes. It is good to hear that being around the same people is helpful. We have one neighbour who has offered to babysit, but it is difficult because both my husband and I were severely abused as children. It is hard to trust.

That is a good idea to watch educational shows. We have only put on not so educational ones so far. We don’t do television very much anymore because of our son. I have a learning difficulty and my husband has neurodivergence in his family too. Research shows that screen use can make these things worse, so we have been limiting it.

I used to be a language teacher, so he is doing well on that front. I read, talk and sing to him. He knows the words boob, yum, mom and dad. He is very food motivated. 😂

I’m trying to teach him to play with others at the moment because it is his next milestone. We are practicing rolling a ball to each other and the game where is…?

I couldn’t agree more about teaching morality and good decision making. We are also saving for him, for when he is older.

I’m sorry to hear that your mother and sister passed away. You really have experienced so much loss. Your memories are very precious indeed.

I enjoy your rambling. Have a good night!

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
