window to look. There’s lots of oohing and ahhing—I can’t stop beaming. Then, everyone sings happy birthday, and we have cake. It’s definitely the best birthday ever!
On the way back from the carriage stop that day, Ben asks me a million questions about dragons and gnomes. And, I have to admit, it feels great.
On Monday, Lady Mary asks the whole class to write an inspiring letter to the princesses who will be starting school next year. Here’s mine:
Dear First-Year Princesses,
Don’t sit around waiting for your fairy godmother.
You can still be a princess and…climb the tower, swim the moat, race the prince, and fly the dragon yourself.
After all, it’s up to us to write our OWN stories.
I believe in you.
Love,
Princess Emma
Dragon Rider
The end.
