There was great excitement at the Tons of Fun
Tots playgroup during its last session when a certain someone in a familiar red
suit paid an unexpected visit to some of the youngest members of the DSI Louth
Meath Branch.
We had a room full of excited boys and girls,
all dressed up for Christmas, and ready to party with their teacher, Triona
Cussen. We were practicing “good sitting” and singing some seasonal classics. All
the boys and girls were attentively watching Triona demonstrate some Lámh signs
along with the songs when who should come in the door … only Santa Claus!
Practicing Good Sitting
Some of the children were very excited to meet
the man himself while others were a little more hesitant but Santa made sure he
had a little something for everyone in his sack.
Suffice to say it was a great morning and a
wonderful lead up to the Christmas season.
A special word of thanks to Mickey Rooney and
all the staff in St Mary’s GAA, Ardee as well as the transition year students
from Ardee Community
School. The Christmas party was a huge success, enjoyed by both the babies and
parents alike.
A Happy Christmas
to you all.
Tons of Fun Tots is a play &
educational group based in Ardee for pre-school children with Down Syndrome.
The group is suitable for babies/wobblers/toddlers from 6 months to
preschool/school age. However, new mums/dads & younger babies are always
welcome. The group is a formal, but fun-based, learning environment for infants
and young children and introduces them to lots of songs and rhymes using Lámh
which helps develop their social skills and build a close circle of friends. It
is also a valuable resource for parents, providing an opportunity for them to
see Lámh being used in a setting that is both informal and more importantly,
fun.
