I love this little stinker!
She has so much life and energy in that little body!
Sometimes it is impossible to contain!
Lately I have been thinking about her Spirit.
She has gone through so much in her short 5 years and has a lot ahead of her.
But I KNOW that she volunteered for this.
I have had a very strong and special feeling that this little girl knew that by coming to Earth when she came, she would be born into a body that was less than perfect and a brain that would give her extra struggles.
She KNEW it would be harder, but she was willing to come for us!
She knew that Dawson would struggle and in turn our hearts would ache. And she knew that he had a very important mission. She knew that he would only be here for a short time and that we would long for him. She knew that her being here now would bring comfort to our hearts.
So she accepted the struggles of an imperfect body...for us!
Now there are things that we are told about her "disabilities" (she is in the spectrum of Autism) that are seen as set backs.
There are some that I see as just the opposite.
Her spirit GETS much more than we get! I can imagine that the little spirit that inhabits her body, isn't so little.
It is BIG.
Full of Energy.
Overflowing with LOVE!
Sometimes she can't stop herself from letting a perfect stranger know that she loves them.
We have a lot to learn from this little angel!
Her love knows no bounds.
She has an ability to make everyone feel so loved!
People around her can't help but be drawn to her.
She is loved no matter where she goes.
How could we possibly help it?!

Amy, I love this post. Such beautiful words about a beautiful little girl. I love her so much.
And what's more, being on the autism spectrum doesn't need to hold her back. I have a feeling that she will conquer!
She is beautiful! I love her big blue eyes in the last picture. :)
My heart is so full after reading this post. I just love that little girl so much! I feel so blessed to be her grandma.
Mal is such a sweet spirit. We love her so much. I think she is going to be fine and overcome her disabilities (if you can call them that). She's wonderful and she does make me feel loved every time I see her.
I think little Mally looks a lot like her Great Grandma Atkinson...look at the last picture.
She is perfect!
