Lorelei At Twelve

Twelve. How in the world are you already here? You are our animal-loving friendly girl. While you may have your shy moments around people you don't know well, you will speak up fiercely if someone brings up something you feel strongly about.

You are completely enamored with all things Harry Potter.

You enjoy spending your extra time on Polynesian, horseback, golf and DI.



You have always had big emotions. During these preteen years they may be even bigger. We work on it daily.

You love, love, LOVE to read. You are not that picky about your books, but reread Harry Potter often and especially love any and all books with animals.

You have wanted bangs for a while and worked to prove you should get them by fixing your hair. Now that you have bangs you never fix your hair. ;) The bangs and glasses came within days of each other and I'm still getting used to the new look.

You are up for trying almost any food.

You consistently plan a "Save the Sealife/Save Winter Day" we have had to put off executing because of Covid. You love to plan this with your friends and in your spare time and have written out lots of plans. I cannot wait to see you put it all together.

You seem to love to argue.

You are always up for a new adventure.

You wish I would let you be more independent in many ways. You have no idea why I won't send you away all summer to summer camp. Just one example. ;)


You got as many books covering all things Marine Biology as you could from the library.



Quotable Moments:

Me: What have I taught you about choosing friends?
Lor: Make sure they aren't a brat. Or a cheater. Or a pumpkin eater.

Me: I think he's a three.
Lor: Maybe he's a three wing one.
Me: That's not possible.
Lor: I know. I was trying to be annoying.

Me: Governor Abbot requires masks so we are basically in Quarantine #2.
Lor: Is it possible to sue him for this?

Me: The boys are going to talk first. (Zoom call)
Lor: Okay! I'll be studying marine biology!

Me: How can he like grapefruit juice?
Lor: Well, he is Canadian.

Me: I am looking forward to checking Daddy's office off the list.
Lor: Yeah. It'll be back on the list in what, three months?

"Before I go to college you gotta take me to a hotel and teach me how to make a waffle!"

"It's just a boy from the city trying to bring a little country home." (Attempting to persuade me to let Makin bring a tumbleweed home.)

"School is exercise for your brain! So you shouldn't have to wear a mask!" (bc masks aren't required while exercising)
