1 year later...

One year ago today was a huge day for us ... Bennett got his Trach out!
It was a magical day after months of worry. My favorite part was finally being able to hear our little man's first vocal delight (Bennett's first giggle). So tonight we decided to celebrate! We had a mini party for the three of us to celebrate one year of Bennett getting his adorable voice back and breathing through his nose and mouth :) It is crazy sit back and think about where we were a year ago and where we are now.
Back a year ago, we didn't know anything different than watching our son grow up in and out of the hospital..... I am so thankful this is all in the past, we had no idea what normal toddler stuff was ahead of us and although sometimes I want to pull my hair out, every once in a while at the end of a really hard, tantrum filled day I think "how did we ever get so lucky!"

(yes, we dug out the trach they removed a year ago, Doesn't everyone have those in their kid's keepsake box?! :)
Some yummy Pumpkin cake... Yum!
