Dear Anastasia,
In less than 12 hours you will turn 4 years old. Has it really been 4 years? I wish someone would tell me where the time has gone. We made it through a year of being diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic, and we celebrated making it that far by getting your first insulin pump. It was literally like square one again but you are such a trooper and by far the bravest toddler I know.
You still love chicken, fries & white dip. However, you have been favoring my egg salad sandwiches as of late. Your favorite shows are Paw Patrol & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, but you still will watch Doc McStuffins with Mommy.
You still have bad days when Grammy & Grampy watch you, however you do have more good days with them than you did last year.
You can belt out songs you know without hesitation or fear. You love hopping time at church and adore dancing there with your friend Joseph.
You are so loved Anastasia, even though we get frustrated that you aren't fully potty trained, and you repeat things 100 times we love you with all our hearts and then some.
I thank God every day that I was blessed to raise you as my daughter. Happy 4th Birthday my wonderful, spunky, talkative, and bright baby girl.
Love,
Mommy
