My niece Julia is Luli's youngest and the only girl. Of course, being the baby and the only girl, Julia gets a lot of attention and gets spoiled by everyone! She is adorable though and sweet. She is so cute and pretty and very clever. With two older brothers, Julia has her tomboy side, but she is definitely a little lady, dainty and flirty.
When Julia was in her early childhood, she would get into all sorts of trouble. She was crazy!! Her mother or anyone watching her could not take their eyes off of her for a second. No sooner than she would be out of one mess, she would immediately be in another. She was a lovely headache, LOL! She had no fear, but a never-ending supply of indomitable curiosity. She would get into things that were supposed to be off limits, find hidden cleaning chemicals, climb anything remotely climbable and up to menacing heights, play with toilet water and objects in the toilet (eeewwww!), smother food everywhere if she had access to it, and a variety of other mischievous activities. If there was a fork and a knife within her reach, she would no doubt reach for the knife with an expression on her face as if to say, "ooooh!! What is this interesting new toy?!" The family would always joke around saying that she didn't only have one guardian angel but at least a dozen, and they were all out of breath from chasing after her! She had a uncontrollable tendency to wander off whenever and wherever her little toddler heart desired. There was more than a couple instances when she just disappeared on one of her notorious neighborhood expeditions that ended with the local police frantically searching for her and her parents desperately praying and worried sick. She then would turn up across the street, down the block, or at a neighbors house without a scratch and flashing her usual carefree smile as if nothing had happened. I'm telling you, you couldn't turn your back away from the little rascal; and when it was too quiet in the house, you knew Julia was up to something fishy. Haha!
That being said, Julia is not at all timid. She is confident and vivacious. She is outspoken and comfortable about speaking her mind. Julia loves to dance and perform. She has begun to like singing and writes songs. She comes up with the lyrics and picks out the melodies on the keyboard. She is one of my biggest fans; every time she sees me she eagerly asks, "Becky, are you famous yet?!" I hope one day I can give her the answer she wants to hear.
A bit random but so cute I have to mention it, Julia loves vegetables. When she was little, her mom had the perfect blackmail to get Julia to obey to her. If Julia wouldn't eat her dinner or wasn't listening, Luli would say, "Julia, if you don't eat your food (or whatever she wasn't doing right), I won't give you any salad." Julia would open her eyes wide in horror and quickly would do what she was told so she wouldn't be deprived of her delicious salad she so craved. LOL! Most kids would be delighted not to have to eat their veggies, but for Julia it was the worst punishment she could get!
Julia is a good, loving girl. She is friendly and caring. She is talented and never shy about it. She has always had a strong will, and though it can be challenging to raise a child with that much personality, I think it will be a great advantage to her someday.
Julia, I love you, and I am proud of the young lady you are becoming. I love how you like to share your talents with everyone, and that you are not afraid to mess up. You are beautiful on the outside, but more importantly beautiful on the inside; and that's where it counts the most. I know you are gonna enjoying growing up and blossoming into a woman, but just don't be in a hurry to get there. I miss you and can't wait to see you and hear your songs. Kisses baby, and hugs.
