Thank you GreenGully!
And Giftodd, so good to hear another story. Thanks for the sympathy too, I kinda need that a bit at the moment. Like it's okay for me to be finding it hard right now.
Sounds like it may be a common thing around this age. My mum said I went through a similar thing. She said I brightened up when I went to school. I certainly remember loving the new ideas.
I do want to follow him, but I also actually think he wants me to challenge him more. He does ask for that. I when I do things, it usually is in a strewing style
Today, I asked if he wanted to do something, he was all enthusiastic, he started, then he said "This is not fun" which sort of ignored, asking him about what he was doing, then he fairly happily completed it and proudly showed to his dad this evening. I don't mean pinning him down, but I think I need to help him work past that little sticking point a bit, maybe.
