On valentines day, Ella bought a friend home with her from nursery to stay for the weekend.  He came with a list of likes and dislikes, a diary for us to write in and he seemed to be a well behaved and polite little boy.

Meet Henry, the nursery doll… 

On Saturday, we took Henry on a trip to Manchesters Museum of Science and Industry. We had a great time playing and exploring, visiting the steam engines, making music and even got our picture taken with the brass band…

Henry enjoyed the Victorian dressing up box, sitting in the steam train, playing with Ella and having piggy backs in the rucksack.

On Sunday, we had a quieter day. Granny came for lunch, mummy cooked, daddy did some jobs and Ella had lots of time to play with Henry…
And she also liked to mother him. Lots of pretend play feeding, cleaning, putting him to bed and doing his nappy…

We had a lovely time with Henry and he’s very welcome to come and stay again xx

Our first baby, Ella Mary, was born at the end of November 2010. We were shocked to find out soon after her birth that she has Down's Syndrome. I was determined from the start that Down's Syndrome will never define Ella or what she is able to do. We will provide for her everything she needs to become the child and the person she deserves to be. There will be hard times ahead.... there are already many hard times behind us. But I already know that the good times will always outweigh the hard times. She has taught me so much in such a short time and seeing life from a new perspective is a privilege that not many of us get the chance to experience.
