Just made my day!!

[eidsvold]

Aahhh my almost 6 mth old (down syndome + congenital heart defect) dd patted my back today and then sat up while I was carrying her to look me in the face and then touched my face. I almost melted!! It is so great to have those moments. It seems so lame but it really made my day... Had a couple of difficult weeks with plumbers, 4 days with no heating ( finally fixewd yesterday in time for snowy day today), inland revenue, social security and child benefit.

Eidsvold, am thrilled to bits for you It doesn't sound lame at all and puts everything else into perspective. xx

Good on you and Dd

eidsvold, that sounds a really special moment, I'm sure you will treasure it, she is really communicating with you!

Eidsvold, how wonderful that must have been

How wonderful, it must have been an amazing feeling for your baby to give you such a special moment when other things are making you feel so p**d off. You mention Inland Revenue, you need say no more.

not lame at all. Brilliant news. I remember when ds1- then over three- carried his lunchbox to the car (autistic- and some sort of dyspraxia- 6 months ago he couldn't walk and carry anything)- I rang everyone who would understand why I was so excited.

I loved it when my baby ds's deliberatly looked me in the face - eidsvold, say no more.

Glad your heating is on. Ours is off ( only a gas fire is working). Lots of bed sharing with children tonight I think.

Oh tigermoth hope you are somewhere that is not so cold and hope the heating gets sorted quickly.
