I’m married to Dave and we have two boys. Mikey is 3, he has Down’s Syndrome, he is active and funny and thrives on praise and lots of short, attention grabbing activities. Mikey’s learning disability means his language development is delayed and he has a short attention span. Mikey likes active play, books, music and dancing and isn’t so keen on small, focussed play like cooking or painting. Mikey goes to a specialist nursery for two days a week. Dan is 1, he is relaxed and sweet. Dan really likes having plenty of smiley attention, his favourite thing in the world is balls – he even sleeps cuddling them! Dan is slightly ahead of Mikey, developmentally and he really likes trying out new words, playing outside and copying Mikey. He’s a bit more nervous than Mikey so sometimes needs a bit of coaxing!
