What a busy week…..ending with a weekend away at Down Syndrome Tasmania Family Camp
Our Family had a lovely weekend away at Down Syndrome Tasmania Family Camp. It was a long drive there Friday(around 4 hours), Jordan, Jakob and Veronika all behaved really well in the car. There wasn’t even the usual arguments from the boys, they talked and played games. We stopped at Anvers and treated ourselves to Hot Chocolates, which was about 20 minutes before our destination. Veronika was spoilt and we got her a babycino, she doesn’t always get one as she shouldn’t have dairy, and she had a piece of fudge. We did however pay for it that night, as she had a belly ache and didn’t want to go to sleep. It didn’t help that I forgot to take her teddy bear that plays music, that she has every night.
At dinner Friday night, we met up with friends we made last year at camp, and met people who hadn’t been to camp before. Over the weekend we were treated as there were child carers to look after the children, which meant that we were able to listen to the guest speakers. There is so much information out there, and its always important to share what we can. It was amazing how well all our children played together. I don’t think there were any fights. I was extremely proud of Veronika. At last years camp, when she went to childcare, she would cry so loud that I couldn’t even leave, this year, when I took her in, she played with some other children her age, and it wasn’t to about an hour and half later that she became upset.
Saturday night our BrightStars Dancing group were to perform. The north west group taught us southerners a new dance in the afternoon, and everyone picked it up really well. Veronika fell asleep during the practise! As our southern Tas BrightStars group only just started late last year, it was our 1st performance. I danced with Veronika, and as she isn’t walking, she was strapped into her pouch on my side and we had a great time. Its so special that even thought she cant walk and dance, she isn’t excluded. Veronika loves the music, and smiled and laughed the whole way thru the 2 dances we did.
