Hi all,
I've minded for a family for 3.5 years.Mum had a baby last May and he has Downs. They didn't know he had Down's until he was born and it was Mum who noticed it-the doctors hadn't even picked it up!
When baby was only 3 days old she rang me-bless her, she was still coming to terms with his diagnosis but she was worried that I wouldn't want to look after him because he had Downs!! Bless her......!
Anyway,fast forward 10 months and I have been caring for baby for 3 weeks now. He is the most adorable, scrummy, delicious little man who has settled extremely well and is a massive delight to care for.
Thursday is World Down Syndrome day and I would love to do a little craft activity with my other 3 pre schoolers just to recognise the fact that he is extra special and that he has his own day to celebrate who he is.
Any ideas what I can do?...nothing too fancy as theyre only 2 and 3 years old and i don't want it to seem patronising if you see what i mean.........also want to portray to Mum that every one here accepts him too.
Thanks xxx
