Finally .................

I have now finished my college courses and have more time (hopefully) to spend updating Noah's blog. Well that is until September when we are expecting a little brother or sister for Noah. Can you imagine Noah as a BIG brother.

Noah has come along so much lately his words and makaton signs are fab, he copies everything I teach him and remembers them when asked. He is now using some of the new signs spontaneously. Such as pretty flowers, ice cream man, balloon. He is also saying a lot more, some obviously is just babble but he is copying words , such as Pete handed Noah his keys the other morning and I said dirty keys and he copied and said Dirty Keys, he has said that a couple of times now when he picks the keys up.

He says locked and then signs door. He can say knock and stuck.

We took him to one of his friends birthday parties yesterday, she had a bouncy castle and he loved it, he was straight on there standing up and then falling over ;-)

Since writing last Noah has had a sleepover at nanny's house, which he loved and was really good for her. Me and Pete managed to get away to London, stopped in a lovely hotel and went to see Dirty Dancing the show which was fab. It was nice getting away for a night, especially as it will prove more difficult when the new little one turns up.

We have sorted out pre-school for September, Noah will be going Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. From 9.30 - 12.00 he will love it. Im sure he will settle in really well. He is such a social little lad and loves playing with other children.


After the last blog, it appears Noah has resulted to sleeping not in his bed but in the blanket box next to his bed, which we use at the moment to stop him getting out. I dont know it must be a lot more comfortable to him.

Other news ................. we are doing a sponsored walk on the 7th June as it is Down syndrome awareness week to raise more awareness and more money for our local group the Solihull Group. They help with speech and language and put events on such as the upcoming 0 - 5 conference in July. Please get in touch if you wish to sponsor us.
