dd1 goes to the special ed unit on a Thursday morning and then to the mainstream kindy in the afternoon. Today as we got there - she put her hat on and went out to tell her teacher she was there. As she did that - two other little girls got all excited she was there - greeted her enthusiastically and one little girl gave her a big cuddle and then dragged her off to play with her in the sand pit!!
I almost burst into tears... I had been wondering for a couple of weeks if there was anyone that dd1 was showing any inclination towards or if any other children were showing a liking for her iyswim. So lovely to see.
Also read in the day book for the parents - teachers write about the day and what they have all been doing - that they were learning Old McDonald had a farm along with the makaton signs as that is what dd1 uses to communicate. Apparently the other children love signing to the song.
our first birthday party invitation - from another little girl who goes to the Special ed unit and also has down syndrome has invited dd1 to her birthday party.
Awwwwwwwwwww!!
