It was the first time Julianna ever blew her birthday candle by herself. This was something Jeff and I had longed to see and it was really, really hard not to get teary-eyed. She had always been scared of the candle on her birthday cake...probably a sensory issue. I believe that after 4 years we are winning our fight against Julianna's autism. I know that there will still be some bad days, but good ones like this make us keep going.
Thank you to everyone that came to join us on this special day! More special thanks to everyone that brought donations for the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. I will be posting more pictures of Julianna giving her gifts to the "sick children". She is very excited! She said that their "bugs will go away then they can go home because I shared my gifts with them."
Enjoy the pictures!
