Ethan turns 11

Being 11 is.... in a word,

awesome.

On one hand, there is a definite feeling that things are starting to change. Some things you used to love just don't seem cool anymore. It seems like a given to pretend you are strangling on the streamers that your mom insisted on placing on your door.


And it is a little silly that you have been awake for an hour and are already dressed for school but you are still pretending to be surprised...

It's important to Mom.


It's also important that you give a nice smile for Mom when she wants to take a photo of you with you Shepherd's Pie Birthday Dinner. So you do.


And you are very attentive while Megan reads to you from "Ethan's Apreshiation Book". Made especially by her with love and staples.



And then you do what you really want to do...

Be AWESOME.


TOTALLY awesome.


But then you are excited that you have caged dragons for your cake decorations. Caged dragons are and always will be....

AWESOME!



And dragons caged with fire is....

DOUBLE AWESOME!


Happy 11th, Ethan.

Oh. And I know you still sleep with your stuffed horsey, Yellow Wings.

Don't worry.

I think that is incredibly awesome.
