Leaned over to Derek while the entire family was taking pictures last night and whispered, “She was TEN!” Hard to believe it’s been eight years since Derek brought me home to meet his family for the first time and we were watching Tangled in the living room with chalese09 while Derek helped her with math homework 😭 Congrats on graduating Chalese! We have no doubt that you’re going to do some pretty great things💛 . . . . . . #specialneeds #cerebralpalsykids #cp #autism #wontgoaway #autismawareness #love #downsyndrome #disability #sensoryprocessingdisorder #family #specialneedskids #cerebralpalsy #holoprosencephaly #mivh #middleinterhemishpericvariant #specialneedsmom #momlife #inclusion #specialneedsawareness #autismmom #specialneedschild #specialneedssiblings #specialneedsparents #momsofinstagram
