Happy 5th Birthday, Princess!

I can't believe my baby girl is 5 years old, and in a few months it will be the 4th anniversary of gotcha day. To describe Leah today is just amazing. Number one is that she is healthy. We still have some neurological things, but for the most part minor. Mainly behavioral that we hope she will be able to control as she gets older and with some continued therapies. Her speech is great. She can communicate and gets her point across "no matter what she has to do". She is hilarious, loving, loves to hug and kiss with quite the grip, a gifted dancer, runs like lightning, and a great eater. She says no to no food! She still loves Dora but we are now into Pinkalicious, Spider Man, Batman and Superman. She starts soccer March 6, so we will be taking a break from Ballet, but will continue Hip Hop. She also starts Belly Dancing. Yes, you read correctly. I never imagined I would have a daughter that would choose Belly dance over ballet, but she really wants to try belly. She also wants to tap dance but we will wait and see how she does on this new schedule as we still have to squeeze in speech and occupational therapies and there are only so many days in the week!

She also starts a new school in a week or so. She was accepted in a Language program in a local school that is supposed to excellent and will help her catch up and be ready for kindergarten. Part of me is petrified that she will be in a public school, but it is a small school and I think it is the best thing for her right now.

Baby Girl is growing up!

Happy Birthday, Princess, we love you to the moon and back, or as you say "to the moon and to the back"
