Happy 5th Birthday Miss Mallie

Dear Mallie, Well, where did those 5 years go? A couple hours from now you will turn 5, I can't believe it! I sure hope the next 5 don't go so fast. I do love seeing you grow up, its the reason I get up every morning. Its the reason I live and breathe. You are absolutely Amazing beyond any words that I could write. When I think back to the year you were born - all the wonders, all the questions, and fears about the future. There was a time, I was afraid you would never crawl or walk. You showed me, us and the World - why YES I Will WALK! Also a time I never thought you would hear the sound of my voice, the sound of rain, any sound. You SHOWED us again - I can HEAR!! Finally, There was a time I thought you would never be able to TALK, and once again - YOU SHOWED US! From the moment you said your first word (uh-oh) till today you have not looked back. You are one smart beautiful little girl! You started Mainstream Kindergarten last week at 4 years old! Do you know how awesome that is? Every step, every word and every moment - it was ALL you baby girl! I love you sooo much! To the moon and back! I want you to know I will always be here for you. I will continue to advocate for you and make sure everything you need is in your reach. I can't wait to see where the road takes us next. Still so proud of everything you have accomplished and overcome! Happy Birthday Tootie! Love Always, Mommy
