Kate's birthday is fast approaching and once again I'll lose the selfish comfort of saying, "she's only three."
Now, she will be a four-year old in diapers, a four-year old who can't answer questions, a four-year old who screams and cries and bites and kicks. A four-year old who wears headphones and pressure vests. A four-year old who needs chew toys and baby food. A four-year old who can't tell us about her day or her needs or her fears. A four-year old who's hugs will make you melt. A four-year old who has a smile for everyone. A four-year old that never judges, criticizes, complains or lies. A four-year old that adores every soul she meets and can talk to animals. A four-year old that makes me weep when I watch her sleep. A four-year old that has inspired thousands and thousands of people. A perfect little four-year old girl. If you'd like to send Kate a birthday card please mail to:

My son just turned four. He's out of diapers but I can relate to everything else. But you know what? It's ok. He and Kate and all the other "xtra cool" kids in this world march to the beat of their own drum. And that's what we love about them. And whoever doesn't like it, can kiss our ass :). Happy early birthday sweet girl.

I know that feeling! Except my special baby is now 7. It's much harder to explain why my 7 year old isn't communicating "normally", why he wears diapers some times, and why he flaps his arms around.
