alaya-

gosh, ten years olds are hard to parent. you think you're the hottest thing since sliced bread, you. you're still obsessed with jake, even though he seemingly doesn't notice you.

i don't know how he doesn't notice your gorgeous face, lovebug.

you've recently been keen on reading, and always ask for more and more novels. i'm a proud parent of the next albert einstein, thank you, thank you.

you still play soccer, and with two coaches you're doing amazing. i think you'll be able to top calum one day.

you're getting tall too. you better not pass me. i'll be sad.

love you!

love, daddy <3
