hi, it took me ages to settle on a name for her i changed my mind several times through out my pregnancy, i liked toni, then it was grace oliva ( great choice shirley) then mark said he really liked charli mai so thats what we chose im glad i did cause it really suits her. I love the picture of grace on the white blanket its so natural she looks so chilled there such a happy little un! x x

is that the group where t children go on a thursday for physio? we were told that she would start t cdc in jan but that never happened. Funny enough as i was typing this msg charli's pysio lauren just rang to say she wants to come and see charli on t 3 may and wants to discuss with me charli starting t group session t following thursday. I take it holly goes whats it like? do you feel it helps? Did/ does holly go to peter pan?

The CDC is great they help to work on the gross motor skills, turn taking, and the main thing is its really nice to mingle with Other mums and dads too. Our Physio is Helen, and she has a speech therapist working with her called Kate. They give us loads of hints and tips on how to get the best out of them No Holly doesn't go to Peter pan. I have attachment issues... LOL She has had moments of respite though at the Donna Louise in Trentham, which is really nice.

Rilith : cdc sounds great im willing to try any thing that will help charli to reach her full potential, charli's speech therapist is also name kate but i cant spell her last name mind it begins with m, she is really nice. I have met another mum called kay whom has a little boy named harry you might know her? My friend lynn her little girls physio is helen and she will be starting cdc next week. I to found it hard to leave charli but peter pan have been lovely with me and charli and for t first month i stayed with her and charli seems to like it and seems to be benefiting from attending there, she only does to 2 hours on a Monday but its enough for us.
I have heard very good things about donna louise, alot of t children i work with attend there and it helps t parents amensily ( sorry im not t worlds best speller lol.)
