Happy Birthday Suzie!

Quick update from a busy week- this week Suzie had her first IV bisphosphonate infusion. She will do this every 6 months and it slows down her bone turnover and in turn strengthens her bones! She did great, had no side effects and we were home within 3 hrs. Next, we had her Birthday! Suzie turned 5 on June 20th! It’s still hard to wrap my brain around her chronological age vs developmental age vs family age (only 3 months!), but our little lady is 5 and we took the day off and went to the zoo to celebrate! We all had fun and she saw several animals close up. I’d love to know what she was thinking but she seemed to enjoy it & is learning some animal names. We ended the day with presents, Chinese noodles and cake! It feels like we have turned a corner and our exhaustion is less of adoption and special needs issues and now just normal parent stuff- a kid who wakes up too early and gets into everything and juggling the needs of 3...pretty normal! 😆 Yay for normal!

she loves to put stickers on her head
