There’s a lovely little thing that happens every month in the ‘Future of Downs’ Facebook group.
We celebrate our children’s milestones and share what’s made us proud. We do this on the 21st to represent the three copies of chromosome 21 present in Down’s syndrome.And there’s no such thing as an achievement too small.
There’s a whole lot of love and pride bursting from the members every month – and quite rightly!
Proud moments happen everyday. I’ll be sharing ours on the 21st of each month.
As this is September, it seems only fitting that this month’s proud moment is school related!
Ella is now in her 3rd week of reception. She bounced in that first afternoon two weeks ago, headed straight for the sand tray and hasn’t looked back. One week of afternoons and one full week later and she is doing great. She seems to have settled really well and is getting the help she needs when she needs it.
She goes in looking mostly presentable most mornings and comes out at 3.15pm covered in mud, paint, glue and general grub – all signs that she’s had a great day!
Very proud of how she has adjusted to being at school and how well she is doing…
