the level of interaction you are getting is just making me cry with (jealous but genuine) joy. It was years before either of my guys could do that. YEARS xx
The picture of "the gang" brings me back to 1982, when my brother was two. Services and networks were poor so my Mum contacted new parents of children with Downs Syndrome and they came to our house for advice and a chat. On many occasions I came home to find a little "gang" in our sitting room with their anxious parents. My brother is now 28 and our little visitors of 1982 and beyond are his best friends. Keep up the great work.
Hi Cathal's mammy. This is Helane (Catherine's Mum). I've finally got brave enough to try out this blogging business! A bit confusing at first but I suppose I'll get used to it. Give Cathal a big hug & kiss from me, best wishes to you & Cathal's daddy and "hi there" to Cathal's Nan P. Keep up the good work!
Hi They are absoutley fantastic. He is goreous and getting bigger by the day. Keep posting, especially Cathal, they always make me laugh. One of these fine days I will work out how to post a picture of Katie. In the meantime keep up the good work. Take care Jackie
Hi Cathal I just wanted to say hello and agree with you bout Christmas. My new trick is to pretend Im going to give my dad a "high five" before he goes to work, I put up my hand and pull it down just before he gets me. And then just to top it all off as soon as he gets up I put up my hand again. Parents are sooooooooooooooo silly, they fall for it every time. I have to go now cause they want me to go to bed, but Im not ready for another half an hour, so I'll show them. Stay in touch. LOL Katie

Something Very Special
Looking forward to season two
Up Coming Events!!!
Downs EDare coming to Dublin on the 7th to the 9th of October. You can register here. Register and pay before the 7th of July to receive a discount.
Cathal was born on the 10th of March 2008 to his loving and proud Mammy and Daddy. Cathal has an extra chromosome and a dodgy heart, but none of this can hold him back. Mammy and Daddy have high hopes that he will become the evil overlord of the world and his extra chromosome no. 21 will enhance his super powers.
Over the next few days/ months/ years, I hope to write about Cathal's trials and tribulations, highs and lows and my experience in raising a child with downs and heart conditions in Ireland.
I hope that this will be informative and helpful to others, and to Cathal in years to come.
