I just loved this and found it moving and beautiful. We feel bad about lockdown in Sydney but we can all be reminded to laugh and love by this gorgeous human Lucy. What ever the prize is I hope Lucy wins as I can't imagine how she struggled with all the words in this with her energy.

I enjoyed the the video Lucy is cute and full of energy. With mum and dad so involved with her progress she has nowhere else to go but forward. Plus with Grandma and great grandma around Lucy will have all the love in the world.
