DSA Launches TV ad campaign

Posted by Thomas Regan on September 10, 2007 2:06 PM

There I was sitting at home watching continuous episodes of Peppa Pig on Nickelodean with Charlotte when an advert came on for the Down Syndrome Association.

The ad features a cartoon boy called Josh who has Down's (pictured below). In it he says he loves doing activities that 'normal' kids do.

First day at school

Posted by Thomas Regan on September 5, 2007 12:18 PM

Well today was Charlotte's first day in reception class at Matthew Arnold.

It seemed just like another normal day this morning at home, Thomas was getting a shower ten minutes before he has to leave for the bus, after 30 minutes of prompting Christopher finally dragged himself out of bed and Charlotte was dancing along with CBeebies favourite Boogie Beebies.

Only today wasn't a normal day at all, because today Charlotte was dancing in front of the television wearing her pristine school uniform for the first time - a significant landmark in her life.

Charlotte's last day at nursery

Posted by Thomas Regan on September 4, 2007 9:48 AM

Today is Charlotte's last day at nursery.

In previous blog entries I have wrote how Charlotte loves MAPS and how the staff have been brilliant with her ever since her first day three years ago. In fact Charlotte was one of the first children to attend the newly opened nursery, so today will be a sad experience not just for Charlotte but the staff that have worked with her.
