Happy birthday to the girl who calls me "baba" and sometimes mama (her m's are hard for her ๐) SHE IS FIVE. How in the world did this happen? Some days I'm sad that she's growing up so fast but then I realize how hard she fought and how hard we prayed for these days. Elsie was born at 25 weeks completely unexpectedly. She fought hard those first few months and was even transferred 2 hours from home to get the care she needed. Her life to this day isn't easy because of her disabilities but she takes on this world with smiles and so much strength. She works hard daily for independence, and truthfully, I feel so blessed to be her mama. I'm grateful to God for these days of watching her learn, grow and explore. ๐
