Turning 10 (3/2021)

Some things we've learned about Dalia this past year:

- She loves watching Hallmark movies. (Somewhere in mid October, she discovered their Christmas movies but enjoys a good wedding/ love story year round.) 

- She's got goals!

- Blissfully unconcerned about details, she inquired, "Mom, how do you spell Geneva?" (She also hasn't yet really taken the time to figure out time expressions and analog clocks.)

- She wants to add the guitar to her performing repertoire and is obsessed with fame. (She is currently doing her wax museum project on Doris Day and is mesmorized by Lisa Marie's airplane.)

- She frequently forgets to eat breakfast but never forgets to feed her beloved "Shelby" every morning. (Can you believe that the 'rescue' turtle has survived in the basement for a year now?)

- She patiently waits for the front desk staff to beep her in at dance every week rather than learning the door code like every other dancer. (The same holds true for the garage door code at home on early out Wednesdays)

- Her mind operates just like Marco's on Mulberry Street but she isn't afraid to exaggerate the details. With baby Jo (who is 8 months), she tells us that the baby verbalized 'puppy' and pointed to indicate preference.

- She needed glasses after all! (Early morning, sometimes agitated scripture reading is so much better!)

- to celebrate, we had a Supermarket Sweeps party. (Dolly always lets me try out my most unique ideas on her.) It was a wild trip down the aisle! And everyone at the store was quite impressed too.
