hon, when you get your paints and do it again, sit closely with him, do the painting together, get paint on your nose and get him to join in laughing at you - will really help build a bond between you

I brought a really nice wooden kitchen from littlewoods last year and it's brill small enough so it's not really in the way but also to hide when i'm not working.I think i paid around £20 for it. Or ebay is good or even charity shops. I have just built my resources up as i go but like others have said you don't need expensive resources
Also look on facebook for selling pages i have one for my local area and got some brill bargains off there oh and nct sales

Went for a walk to the library
Played with dried pasta and rice and pouring things

For the past two to three hours he's been asking for mummy and daddy cuddles, asking where daddy is, saying he wants his daddy.

I feel so horrible, I feel like he doesn't want to be here and I'm making him upset

There's a toy library on saturday so gonna see if I can grab myself a few bits and bobs

try not to worry to much, you seem very down and insecure about it and he may pick up on that when his with you. it takes some children longer to settle and get to know/trust you. try and go out maybe a bit more? sometimes stuck in the house just you and him and emphasizes the a fact its just the two of you. good luck!

Don't worry too much about what activities you are doing you could do so much with him and he will still want his mummy/daddy - don't take it to heart, he has only been with you for a few weeks or so, he will settle in time. Just be there for him with plenty of praise and cuddles. He will get there xx
