This blog is prepared in Blogger - and for several days it has denied us access to images - we do hope this bug is fixed very soon!
It's a long weekend here, as Australia Day (26th January) falls on a Monday. It's the last weekend of the summer holidays - the NSW school year starts on Tuesday for teachers, and students start enrolling at and attending public schools from Wednesday. Pretty much everyone will be back to work and normal routines next week. Before life gets into the usual hectic round, here are three blogs from families of baby boys with Down syndrome (all born in July 2008!) - some very good sense, thoughtful reflections, lots of lovely photos and some very cute videos:
Down with Oz has nothing to do with Australia! Ozzie is a very cute baby whose Dad Daniel blogs about his progress and their relationship from time to time. His 30th December, 2008 video of Ozzie laughing out loud will bring a smile, and we recommend the "Three months" post too - although it's all good if you have time.
Baby Finn's mother, Lisa, has posted a short video of his early vocalisations at Finnian's Journey, and some encouraging moments with his older siblings, as well as musings on daily life with six children.
The Hill Family of North West Arkansas have a little boy, John, with Down syndrome - his Dad blogs about many aspects of family life, including early intervention. Jay Hill is a physical therapist(physiotherapist), and in this post from 20th December 2008 he explains the importance of reducing compensatory movements and promoting the most effective use of muscles and joints, rather than pushing for "on time" milestones. He also shares lots of photos and family moments throughout his blog.
