HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE FAVE!


This is my grandniece, Jelia.  I started calling her Little Fave because she calls me Aunti Fave..I got her started on that when she was born!  Anyway, today is her birthday.  She's a big 4!!!  She's the oldest great-granddaughter of the family.  She was born as an emergency C-section but both her mom and she was as healthy as can be.  She's been going ever since.  Little Fave is pretty smart.  I like to pretend to sing opera.  So when she was oh probably just a little over a year, I would sing really loud and hold my arms up in the air and hold my note and kind of shake my hands.  She remembered so everytime she saw me she would hold up her arms and just look at me.  Once I did my singing she would just laugh.  That's our thing.  She reminds me of that and will sometimes just look at me and sing a note and hold her arms up.  We sing together (opera) and dance like ballerinas.  Little Fave takes dance classes because she is quite the dancer and she goes to preschool.  Jelia is the fave of the great-grandparents.  She was the little blessing that came when my parents needed one. We all did.  She and her mom lived with them for a bit but also my mom has been taking care of her since she was born because Malia, my niece, had to go back to work and my sister was working too.  Little Fave is like a sponge.  Anything my mom does, she does too.  She is a good helper, good cousin and loves to play.  She's very creative and her imagination is out of this world!  She can sing "Called to Serve" at the top of her lungs (I think I taught her that)!  She loves Primary too.  Little Fave...I love you!  Happy Birthday
