Happy 3rd Birthday!

Karina turned 3 years old on September 5th.  We had a party for her at a local park with our family, friends, and all her therapists from Early Intervention. I wanted to have her therapists there to kind of say good bye to her, since Karina has "aged out" of E.I. and will be attending a special school for her therapies.  It was bittersweet for them, and for me, because they are all very special to us.  Some of them have been with us since Karina was 6 months old, when all this was new and scary for me.  They have seen Karina grow from a very underweight, and constantly crying baby to an attentive, beautiful, non-fussy and very tall little girl.  We have come a long way together and I know I will keep in touch with them.   It was a beautiful, sunny day.  Karina was such a good girl.  The main event:  A birthday cake fit for a princess.  It was a Minnie Mouse cake, from Caladra's Bakery in Fairfield, NJ.  They did a BEAUTIFUL job!!!  Arianna helped to blow out her candles and even made a wish for her.  Karina's smile says it all.  We know she enjoyed her day.  Thank you, to everyone who made the day so special for her.  Every birthday is a milestone.  We take nothing for granted.
