Serenity,

Because you spell "realise", I assume that you are not in the usa and am not giving you a link to amazon, but just the name of the counting blocks that were used in one of my girls' preschool - Unifix blocks. They are extremely versatile and will provide you both with a good activity to do together and for him to play alone. You can count, build towers, name colors, make piles with different quantities to work on "more, fewer, the same", and, of course, patterns.

On my own trials and tribulations with self love...

...I go to yoga and am now putting together a bag with yoga clothes to keep in the car to make it easier for me to always be prepared. I deliberately do not use the language women's magazines would use, calling it "now I have no excuses not to go to clasd", because they talk about yoga classes as yet another todo, and I talk about it as something nice I do for myself.

These little things of how you talk to yourself matter, in my experience.
