2 days in

He started this morning saying (not to me) he was going to "kick off big style" today.

There was a lot of moodiness and looking for conflict.

There has been targeting one of the other looked after kids.

There has been a chasing next doors sheep across the field.

If you met the guy who owns them you would call this "suicidal behaviour".

Gwion has been in the thick of all this.

But I think  the looked after child has had one of the best days of his life.

He found the hatch to the attic in his room and found our kids old Brio in the loft.

There is a huge train track layout in his room.

Mr Health and Safety would be giving him a big lecture about going up in the attic, but, you know, somewhere I lost that script.

This is very immature behaviour, or as a therpist once said he obviously has not finished being 5 so he is not ready to be 6. 

Mr Hoodie, for that was he, has thrown his hoodie off and is at this late stage in the day, not "kicking off" but running wild and burning off energy.

He had a proper meal today and he is starting to eat. He had been removing himself to his room mealtimes.

He saw some of the food we brought back from France in the fridge and decided he might try it. Something completely new, his face lit up with wonder and he emptied the carton.

Now about this ADHyperactivityD......

We have imposed a bedtime which will be 11,

That could be an obstacle.

It could all change in 20 minutes.....

I am sure there is a mountain to climb but I also think we are passed the lower slopes.

We are off to a music festival tomorrow I think this might turn all interesting.
