Once we moved to the city and he was no longer homeschooled he adjusted fine and made friends easily. I understand that parents are concerned about their children being put at a disadvantage from being alone so much, but unless you're locking him in a cupboard all day, he'll likely be fine. <br />I hope you don't feel like I've overstepped.<br />Hang in there.

I can understand entertaining a 14-month old (can't believe baby O. is 14 months already) is quite a challenge, and it's a bit heartbreaking that he hasn't met any other children yet. I hope things change in that direction very soon! Must have been exciting seeing his first snow, even if he was trying to do a front crawl through it :-) Stay safe and cosy! xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342626399630015748.post-22988366229004678012021-02-13T18:24:47.567+00:002021-02-13T18:24:47.567+00:00So lovely to see you post again!

Love the bunting, your new dungarees and the revamped dress. Those buttons are delightful! Can't believe people can be so careless. I had to tell quite a few people off when they kept walking right up to me. And it's usually the ones who are clapping the hardest who are acting irresponsibly. And I won't even mention the crowds in the streets now that the shops have re-opened today.
