Decorating ...

Scratch the comment on yesterday's blog about Boy Wonder settling. He didn't! After a brief cat nap downstairs he went upstairs and spent the next three hours pacing, jumping about and eventually ended up on his futon matteress on our bedroom floor. At 3am all was finally quiet!

The last couple of days has made us question out judgement yet again. Boy Wonder made such a fuss about wanting his bedroom decorated in Barcelona FC colours that we made a start whilst Superman is still on holiday. He has remained very excited about it and we are confident that it will be a good idea once he is used to it. However, the change had disturbed his sleep more so, he seems unsettled by it and is complaining of tummy ache. It is a hard call to know whether to go with what he verbalises or to constantly remain cautious about change and therefore end up with more grey areas. Those of you with HFA kids will know what I am waffling on about!

I went to work fairly early this morning, Super Gran and Biker Gramps took a brighter Cat Girl shopping and Superman and Boy Wonder continued decorating. I rang at lunch time and the boys were 'getting there slowly' Super Gran sent a couple of photos of their shopping trip where Cat Girl purchased lots of wall stickers, pjs, the must have school shoes ( she is 5!) and a plastic box with kittens on.  They said that they got very wet in the rain but this didn't seem to hinder their shopping any :-)!

I arrived home at around tea time. Superman was still painting stripes and Boy Wonder and Cat Girl were playing on their tablets in the lounge. Cat Girl and I put some is the stickers on her bedroom walls. The hearts, flowers, butterflies sets were spread around the room until every last one was used. Lots of stickers!!

This evening we settled down  upstairs on our bedroom floor as his bedroom floor . He read his dolphin book from I ear to cover, appearing a little settled this morning. We spoke about the planning of tomorrow which will include a few children that he doesn't know very well. Boy Wonder stated this this was acceptable.
