school pictures

As is true Dalia fashion, she wouldn't hear of sitting down and letting some stranger take a posed picture of her the way everyone else was doing this year. We'll see what happens next year. I am supposed to get my money back, though I'll probably be able to laugh a little when we get the class picture with Dalia sitting backwards in her teacher's lap (that's right, facing away from the camera). Anyway, here's something I love so much about her school: the school director is always loitering with her awesome camera and love for the kids. I was joking with her about Dalia's school photo - lack there of - and she decided to shoot these. I couldn't of dreamed of better pictures to mark the passing of this time in her life. Way better than a posed shot in a wooden chair with a blue background. Her friends running behind her and the fall leaves all around her. Every day we are more proud of her. This week's favorite activity? Counting to 100. Over and over and over again. We counted together to 112 in the car this afternoon.
