Our baby girl has turned 12! Next stop...teenager! Ah, who are we kidding, she's pretty much a teenager already.
Amy has matured so much in the last year. She's better able to take light-hearted ribbing, which is wonderful (she doesn't get furious if we say "there's no post on Sunday," for example). She's thriving in middle school, grade-wise, and has also made lots of new friends. She's just recently started working as part of the stage crew group for the upcoming middle school play, and she's having a lot of fun with that. She's still enjoying taking weekly tennis classes, which just started back up again for the spring. She still loves to read, but has become more narrow in the styles of books she chooses - she very much prefers realistic fantasy (an example she gives is Harry Potter). Amy tends to become what one might call "obsessed" with things - a month or two ago, it was Robin (of Batman and Robin.....not interested in Batman, though) and now she's circled back around to the Percy Jackson book series. She will talk endlessly to us about her obsession, without much regard to whether we're actually interested (or even listening, probably!). She still draws constantly, and she still won't really share her drawings with us (so sad!). She is still a collector of "stuff" which usually ends up in piles all around the house.
We're so proud of Amy and all that she's become! We think we'll keep her. :)
