11 cool things about you as you turn 11

Posted on by
  1. You’re an amazing girl Emma, a gift for the world to see and experience.  You’re a positive vibe, ‘good karma’ person who’s fun to be around.
  2. I love the hugs you give, the way they make me feel (good, happy, warm, appreciative).
  3. I love your easy-going, natural smile, it always makes my day!
  4. Your helpfulness is so rare for someone your age (heck for any age).  You don’t ask if you can help, you just roll your sleeves and help.  You’re an example for all of us… a doer who makes a difference.
  5. Your social consciousness is in your DNA.  You make the world a better place with random acts of kindness.
  6. You’re in tune with the world around you, always preferring to be in the moment, engaged in a conversation, in tune with the reality of now vs. escaping into your own world.  This rare quality is known as “mindfulness,” something people strive to achieve every day.  You’ve already figured it out.
  7. I love your creativity – the way you see and experience the world.  We gave you a Frankenstein bust for your birthday… it was cool to see how you transformed it into your own creative vision.
  8. Over the past year, Grammy and I have seen a growing maturity; you’re leaving the little girl behind, becoming a young woman for all to behold.
  9. You were never into fashion or typical girl style fashions, but lately you’ve embraced a more stylish look that goes beyond sheer comfort.  Fun to see!
  10. Whether soccer, Girl Scouts or school projects, you get along with others and have many friends. Remembering the shy little girl you once were, it’s amazing to see the comfortable person you’ve become.
  11. Your love for others extends to animals & pets... you love Apple & Ruby and they love you in return.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA, I love you lots!img_9972 img_9985 img_9991 img_9995
