Well our Little R is 10. Double digits!! Whoohooo.. She is so excited because she was able to have a slumber party/spa party with a bunch of her friends. Our first experience in hosting such an event and I can say I will not be doing it again anytime soon LOL.
Little R struggles with loud sounds, routine being out of balance and chaos. She doesn’t have great social skills and struggles in group environments, but I was blown away at how well behaved she was for her sleep over. I was so proud of her at the slumber party, I could see her growth and maturity in this past year. When I watched her friends and looked at my little R I was so proud to be her mom.
I can’t believe it has been a year, it has been a long year, a challenging year and I don’t think I would change a thing. Little R has taught me so many things about myself. How to be more patient and kind and empathetic. She has taught me about resilience and unconditional love. She has taught me about life outside of my little world and about family and how important that connection is. As much as I am having to teach her she is teaching me so much more about myself and others. I am blessed to have her in my life.
I am exhausted today, and need a long nap from only getting 5 hours of sleep and being everything to everyone for the last 24 hours but I would do it again if it meant putting a smile on Little R’s face.
Happy Birthday Little R…. I can’t wait to celebrate many more with you and see how you are going to grow.
