Happy Birthday Delaney!

My niece is 3 today, and she’s a pretty great kid. I kind of like her. Actually I really love her. She makes me laugh. She’s whip smart and sassy. And these are traits that I absolutely adore in other human beings. She is the kind of girl I could hang out with for hours and not get bored. I think you could too; she’d have you in stitches in seconds. Of course that is if you could catch her. Did I mention that she’s also a fast little scamp?

Here are some things that you might enjoy knowing about her.

She loves Hello Kitty….

And Pirates….

And Pirate Hello Kitty.

She takes very good care of her Care Bears. And can call all 50 bajillion of them by name.

She loves Disneyland. And behaved very well when we were there in May, in fact she was better behaved than some adults that I saw there.

She loves Jo Jo and all her pals.

She loves Elephants.

Especially the Dumbo ride at Disneyland.

She’s multi-lingual. Thanks in part to Dora, and some Chinese show that I hear she likes.

She’s been to Hawaii, so she is well traveled for her years. She loves Lilo and Stitch. And she has a Hawaii/Surf/Lilo and Stitch themed room.

She is unfailingly polite.

She loves her dog.

She loves her family.

She is one of my favorite people and I wish that I could be with her more often.

Happy Birthday Delaney!! Aunt Heather loves you.
