Penelope is officially a teenager!
Penelope is really a sweet honest teenager. She does get frustrated with me and her family sometimes, but she is learning how to handle it. I can tell that her brain is growing and wanting to be more independent while at the same time she still needs quite a bit of help. She is definitely not a child but also not an adult. When she is upset she pretty much just talks back and needs a minute to calm down.
I think her biggest challenge is going to be learning to speak up for herself. She is very strong willed and doesn't compromise on her principles but she also doesn't voice her opinion or advocate for herself. If she doesn't agree with someone outside of her family she will just keep it to herself. She is working on being brave and asking her teachers questions when she has them.
Penelope really wanted a picture with Mochi in it. Luckily when we are outside Mochi comes to be with us and see what is going on.
Penelope has been using my pink shampoo and is liking the change in hair color. She also likes to wear this striped shirt as much as possible and loose pants. She has friends at school, and always tells me about her day. I love how open she is with me about what her friends are doing and saying. I hope this doesn't change as she gets older.
This summer she did a lot of babysitting for our family. She also enjoys the library book club, playing the violin, and young womens.
