Well, tonight Grace and I started attending the local sing and sign class run by the DSA, it is held in a local church and is completley free. Most of the parents there all belong to our local support group too so it was good to see familiar faces.
Even better still, we just leave the kiddies in the room all together on the floor with the ladies that run it and we pop off to the coffee room for tea and biscuits lol!!!
Grace seemed to enjoy to company and the singing, some of the kids also attend her MAkaton class in a monday morning so I am hoping that she will strike up a good little friendship with them.
Shirley xx

We used to do the sing and sign classes, they were good fun and I would recommend them, but our local children's center for special children were running similar classes for free so we did them instead.
