I’ve had a tough week with Ella, she’s been stroppy, defiant and shouting when she’s tired, frustrated or things aren’t going her way. Learning how to handle her when she’s like this and trying to decipher what’s wrong has been a steep learning curve for me. I do think although her speech is improving, she’s reached the point where she wants to say more but can’t and she gets cross – her understanding is so much better than her ability to tell me what the problem is at the moment. 

But we’ve had fun and smiles too. Here’s some pics from when I caught my cheeky little pirate jumping on the bed! 

Happy Monday everyone 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.
