Who is that adorable and feisty lil grrl? It's not Miss Ella. It is Milagros Cerron, Peru's Little Mermaid:

Milagros, who turns 3 years old next week, now takes ballet classes and runs around the playground with her classmates.

In June 2005 doctors successfully performed risky surgery to separate her legs to above her knees. The operation seven months ago was to separate the remaining four inches of fused tissue just below the groin.

Isn't this just amazing? She's so cute, so feisty, and obviously so strong. It just blows me away what our medical community can do and the strength of the human heart. I think she's going to be just fine.

This picture seriously just makes me heart sing.
