This is our daughter... She is 4 and has cerebral palsy. Her birthday was today and got this cool toy. It took her literally about 5 minutes to scoot to it and climb up like this. She has never done this before. Just a personal aww that I'm proud of.

She’s a doll. I’m sure she’ll continue to surprise and amaze you in the years to come. Just try not to cry too much! Happy birthday, pretty lady!

Congratulations, from a fellow parent of a child with cerebral palsy (5 year old boy w/ moderate)! This really is huge! She also seems to be bending her limbs well, which is awesome. It’s the absolute best when you can find the right motivator. Give her a birthday hug from this random stranger on the internet who’s very proud of her! Edit: Improved wording

Hey, from a disabled daughter, thank you for celebrating the little victories ♥️ I’ve been able to break barriers and to things I was never “supposed” to be able to do, for this exact reason. Celebrate that curiosity and determination. She’s gonna do great things, and she’s lucky to have support like you.

EDIT: thanks for the silver, I’m so touched by your guys comments. Apparently I needed a good cry ♥️ keep being lovely humans, all you people. EDIT: now gold! To all of you messaging me and sending me your stories, I’m blown away. My heart is so full. I don’t have CP but I know that the road with disability is a long one. Parents that are struggling: your efforts MATTER and MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Celebrate every day. 😭♥️
