You are everything I could of hoped for, smart, kind, confident, sassy and stronger than you even know. We are so proud of you Alaia, watching you grow is a dream but it’s going way too fast. You are magic baby...never change.'

Alaia came downstairs to a collection of gifts - including a light up scooter and keyboard - and tucked into breakfast pancakes.

And Rochelle gave thanks to the small business that helped her create a lockdown surprise.
