You continue to have a passion for animals. You love to tell everyone about them and are extremely interested in rescue efforts made for all animals. You love to tell everyone about Clearwater Marine Aquarium. You enjoy working with horses during lessons as well as ManeGait, a new volunteer project you have going at an equestrian center for kids with special needs. You also continue working on training your Beta fish.
You enjoy Polynesian dance class each week.
You love learning. You get so excited about projects and your work. You especially love learning other languages and are continuing your Spanish because you want to!
You listen to Christmas music at night all year round. During the day you will typically listen to Harry Potter music or soundtracks from Dolphin Tale or horse movies. You love the HP study music available online.
You tend to catastrophize. We are working on that and you are pretty good at joking about it with us!
You are responsible.
You are still fairly anxious and shy around people you don't feel comfortable with. You still struggle with your temper and attitude but we are seeing progress!
You love to research.
You love to decorate. You rearrange your room décor often.
When we do our high, low, looking-forward-to at meals you list off almost your entire day as your high-of-the-day. Even if you had a rough math lesson, that typically doesn't even come to mind by supper.
Thank-you notes are your specialty.
Quotable Moments:
Discussing a nickname idea for Makin as "Carbonator" because he loves carbs...Lorelei chimed in, "Or it could be because he has such a bubbly personality!"
"You could've changed the world mom!"
"But it brings us joy!?!"
(After venting about her teaching not making them actually do a weather-drill practice at school...)"Do you think you should share your concerns with Mrs. Smith!?"
Lor: Tomorrow there is only one more month until I'm fourteen.
Mom: Not cool.
Lor: Yes cool.
Mom: (Discussing future travel dreams...) Yes, several hundred more dollars more!
Lorelei: Yes, but several hundred more memories!
