Lorelei At Eleven

Our sweet, friendly, chatty, adventurous, determined girl. Lorelei you are every much owning your age...if not maybe a bit more teenager-ish than we would like. So while I would like to say, "I cannot believe you are eleven!" It is something I'm reminded of often. You are growing up so fast!

At eleven you...

Still love chips and salsa and would like to eat it every day.

Are full of talkative energy, talking a mile-a-minute. Unless you are...

Reading. It is definitely your favorite pastime. You love most books, especially any book about horses. You mostly choose animal rescue books and recently loved the Harry Potter book you got for your birthday.

Are extremely passionate about saving animals. This is usually focused on Saving The Sealife, but you do go on a rant anytime you think it is necessary to defend an animal. You have lots of big plans for fundraisers to raise money for CMA. You love getting your entire class involved in these ideas. You also write/type up papers to inform people about the importance of these topics.

Are all about horses these days. You are saving to buy your own someday and of course wish you had your own now.

Are still in Hula/Polynesian Dance Movement and love it and all things Hawaiian.

Are extremely social and never think you get enough friend time. Along with that, you seem to be a very good friend.

Still have a temper and when you add teenage attitude its quite a challenge - as always we are working on it daily!

Rarely want me to fix your hair.

Seem to enjoy an argument.

Draw on most of your papers, right now its almost always horses. You also write "Go to seewinter.com" on papers as well. I've also been loving some of your Toothless (From How To Train Your Dragon) drawings.

Love to decorate for holidays. You love big events and the anticipation and excitement that comes with them.


Quotable Moments:

"Look at all those surfers! It must be like a birthday party or something!"

L: I'm hungry...
Me: Even though you ate an entire pizza last night...
L: What? I'm almost a teenager... (Note, this is at age ten! ;) )

Makin: This isn't a highway...
Lorelei: Yes it is, it's a podunk highway.
