disabilities. It was an amazing week, with lots of arts and crafts (not usually Jess's favourite activity, to be honest) and lots of music and dancing (which she loved), all building up to the group putting on a performance for family and friends on the Friday afternoon.

The show was amazing - the talent and effort of all the children was breath-taking - but I think the real success was the rest of the week. Jess loved being included in such a big group of children, and I think the other children benefited from spending time with her as well. Sam said that even from the beginning of the week, the other children were very interested in Jess, and asking a lot of questions. By the end of theof their holidays (although when told we had to go the the chemist for umpteenth time, Anna did exclaim "not again!") However, Jess is back at school and settling really well into her new class. Normality has also returned for Anna - nursery, swimming lessons, ballet classes as well as time with me.

And I've had my first morning child-free in 2 months, when Anna was at nursery and Jess was back at school!! I went back to bed for nap.
