My daughter Maggie always loved to watch the Disney movie
"The Little Mermaid" ever since she found out it was my favorite childhood movie. She would beg me to put the movie in and When I did.

She would always sing along and dance to the songs. I swear she knew the entire movie by heart.

You could imagine her excitement when I decided to name my new baby daughter "Ariel".

"Go Ariel, Go! Go find Prince Erik and get married!
