A GREAT DAY TODAY!!!! SUCH A GREAT DAY!!!!!

I just don't know WHERE to begin!!!

She is understanding more and more everyday!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooo happy for her..... all this happiness is making my chest hurt!!!!

When I asked Aliyah to give me a kiss she puckered up :)...
She tries to handle door knobs!!!!! I am pretty sure she is understanding the reason behind them!!! :)

I am almost certain she knows her name!!! FINALLY!!! and when I ask her to follow me , most of the time she does!!!!

She always wants to be right next to me..... literally RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!! I LOVE IT!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! I love being her best friend!!!! I love her unconditional love!!!

I don't know why I am crying but I have soooo much joy right now..... I was told by her specialist she may never be able to communicate with me and today she has more than ever!!!!!!!!!!! she is proving everyone wrong!!! little by little... I will be patient... I will wait patiently for the day she calls me mommy :) Everyday I wait for that one word!!!!!

I just have to be patient.... I know she will be alright.... I know I will make a safe and beautiful future for her!!! I just do....
