Our little Laurel Ann turns 9 years old today! She is absolutely the most caring, spunky, thoughtful, rational, loving, and kind girl. Laurel's relationship is great with both of her siblings, but it seems she thrives when it is just her and Levi playing together. The sisterly love she has for Erika is definitely there, but it can be difficult to be the little sister of a pre-teen! Laurel has so many fun ideas when the kids play together....she is creative enough to come up with these elaborate decorations or building ideas patient enough to see it to completion. Lately, Laurel has been into writing long stories that are quite good....her spelling can use some work, but the stories are great! This past soccer season proved (again) that Laurel is a natural athlete. She is so quick and understands the strategy of the game. It is always fun to watch her face during a game because she is so focused on making the best play or getting into the most beneficial position. Her coach was very pleased with what a great listener she was at practice and always willing to do what was asked of her. The perfectionism in Laurel has so far prevented her from trying other sports, like basketball. If she isn't confident that she will succeed in the sport, she doesn't really want to try it. We are trying to encourage her that it's okay to fail and there is always something we can get better at! Laurel loves school and has been very successful in her math facts this year. She is such a great friend, but has experienced a bit of heartache over friendships that have soured. Still, she remains kind and accepting of everyone! Laurel has really worked hard on controlling her temper and we have so few outbursts from her anymore! She knows when she needs to be alone and takes some time by herself when needed. She doesn't like it when her sister tells her what to do and we have to break up fights still when it comes to who is in charge, but it's so much better than last year! Laurel loves dogs, hamburgers, sleeping in, watching Netflix, her family, and pie eating contests. She doesn't like changing her sheets, the sound of the vacuum cleaner, being yelled at, or flossing. She is smart, fast, fun, dangerous, thoughtful, funny, and sincere. We are the most blessed family to have her in ours! We love you so much, Baby Lowlie Annie!
