Ariel is 11 years old!

Ariel turns 11 years old! I don"t have any idea where the time goes. Just that it surely flies by. You love chocolate, which has been especially rough for you because I don't allow candy and sweets unless it's a special occasion. I still believe that you will do something art related when you are all grown up, because you love to read and draw. You devour your books. You read at every spare moment. You read in the car and I can find you sometimes in your room with a book. You draw elaborate drawings with lots of detail with the clothing. Maybe you will be a clothing designer and develop your own clothing line. I can see you doing that. I would have to say the subject that you like the least is Math. I think mostly because you aren't always as patient with learning new things when you aren't that interested in them. You love your little sister and most of the time take real good care of her.

You just recently lost another tooth and when I told reminded you about it this was the new smile that I got. It seems like you have been losing teeth forever. You are getting pimples, which is a sign that you are on the cusp of the teenage years.


You are really patient most of the time with my picture taking because you absolutely love to look back at old pictures of yourself and find it hilarious when I share stories of the toddler that you used to be. You are so excited about going to middle school. You want me to buy you a lock so you can practice unlocking the lock using the combination over the summer. You want in the band. Although you haven't told me what instrument you would like to play. I am excited for you, but at the same time a little apprehensive that you have to grow up. You are stubborn like your Dad, of course. You seem to know exactly what you want and can't be swayed. I hope that quality helps you and not hinders you in life. You are sometimes very easily distracted and it takes you hours to complete a task. I will find you just staring off into space, which tells me that you are a daydreamer. Which is another reason why I believe you have a tendency to be pulled to the arts. I love you Ariel! I am so proud you are my daughter!
