Guess what I've just arranged!!

[Dingle]

A while ago someone mentioned about a girl with DS performing in a dance routine. It got us talking and we have been saying about getting Amelia involve in something like this for some time now.

Well today I actually did something about it! She starts dance classes on Saturday 11th June!!
I spoke to the lady who runs the class and although she has no experience of Downs Syndrome, she has taught children with other SNs. It only cost £2.50 per session, only half an hour, pre-school group. Lots of circle work, music, rhythm, it sounds ideal.
I just can't wait to see her little face!

Davros, have you seen those elephants in pink fluffy tutu's!!! Well I felt like one of them!

The most important thing to me was the acceptance of everyone there, the organisers, the other parents. I felt completely at ease with them all from the word go!

She may never settle, she may not like it...but I am certainly not giving up at the first hurdle. I have this picture set in my tiny little brain now of Amelia wearing this little pale blue ballet dress and a little pale pink wrapover cardi. I might even dig out my knitting neddles in anticipation!

LOL at Dingle doing the dancing instead!

Hopefully she'll soon be joining in and dancing to the clicks of those knitting needles.

LOL Dingle, weren't they hippos?

Possibly Davros, but you get the picture!

Yeah, I've got a mirror!

awww bless her
