Charlotte is funny and talented and doesn’t like people.

But she loves animals, especially cats.

Charlotte is halfway through her 9th grade year. She is the only one of my children who wanted to do online school when given the option. However, after evaluating her classes we decided that the electives are kind of terrible online so she opted to take electives in person and to take all of her core classes online.

Her favorite thing about online school is that she can take kitten breaks or even incorporate holding cats into her schoolwork.

She loves to be out exploring in nature and if we lived near a forest, she would probably never come home.

Charlotte not only isn’t afraid to get dirty, she loves to play in the dirt.

She also likes adventures and is not afraid of a long drive. She went on a short adventure before school started where they drove 38 hours over 3 days both starting and ending at home.

Charlotte likes to draw and is clearly the best artist in the family. I am constantly amazed by the quality of her doodles.

She loves to laugh and has a good sense of humor. We watched all of Parks and Rec and The Office together and laughed together often. She’s also always up for a good meme!

As you may notice, she’s not afraid to experiment with her hair and is developing her own sense of style. Among the things she feels passionate about are pockets. She finds the lack of pockets in women’s clothing personally offensive and will only wear dresses that have pockets. I have also had to start buying her boy’s pants because they have better pockets.

Charlotte started carrying chopsticks with her at all times. She has become quite skilled with them and can eat just about anything with them.

Just because you can eat anything with chopsticks, does not mean you should. Charlotte would agree that hamburgers are not best eaten with chopsticks, but she was willing to try.

This is one of the rare photos from before she started wearing nothing but hoodies from zayn malik merch. At some point she decided that hoodies are just the best clothing ever and since that point has worn hoodies every day and night. She even wore them all summer outside in temperatures above 90 degrees because apparently she’s crazy. She now has a rather large collection of hoodies as a result because her mother insists that they must be cleaned regularly.

She hates when people love dogs, but hate cats. She considers herself an introvert and doesn’t like to be around crowds of people.

She is interested in creepy things, conspiracy theories, and YouTube videos. She loves sushi and spends most of her allowance on it. She also likes Thai food, honey walnut shrimp, big salads, Mochi ice cream, cookie dough ice cream, licorice, Pez, and Hi-Chews.

Charlotte is a good big sister and a good listener when her little sister needs to talk about the stresses of life. I love her dearly and am glad that I get to have her as my daughter.

Here is what I wrote about her previously.
