🎉🎉 BIRTHDAY GIRL!! 🎉🎉 I will never for 🎉🎉 BIRTHDAY GIRL!! 🎉🎉 I will never forget the moment I realized that our chubby bundle of cuteness was going to be a handful.Lily was 11 mos old when she crawled over to 3 yr old Caleb to take a toy.  When he didn't give it up she bit him.  Hard. Before I could reach my sobbing son, I watched as she rose up on her knees, wrapped her little arms around him, and began patting him on the back.My mouth dropped. The fact she angrily inflicted pain and then knew how to sympathetically offer comfort left me dumbstruck. Finally Caleb calmed down, and she reached for the toy again.  The entire story repeated itself.Mother of the year, I know.4 years later, and she remains equal parts sassy and sweet. Her pre-k teacher (who Lily LOVED) put it well. "Lily is the beautiful rose everyone wants to pick, but you have to watch out for the thorns." 😅 This was the same teacher Lily kicked in the shins the first day of school. 🤦‍♀️Lily, your amazing hugs, determined spirit, and sassy sweetness will change the world one day. It has certainly changed mine, and I couldn't love you more for it. Happy birthday precious girl!!#birthdaygirl #5thbirthday #happybirthday #hammersnhugs #healthyhearts #happyhomes #imperfectlyempowered #imperfectlyempoweredpodcast #healthylivingblogger #womenhealth #homediy #budgetdiy #healthyrecipeshare #fitnessadvice #wellnesstip #healthymotivation #mentalhealthadvice #fatlossprogram #fitnessprogram #familyideas #kidshealth  #homerenovationideas #momlifebelike
