Family Member Spotlight- ROXIE

Roxie

Roxie is 8 years old and is in 3rd grade. She is pretty much the exact opposite of her older brother, Logan, as far as personalities go. She loves to entertain anyone and making people laugh is her favorite. She's the girl that, somehow, the entire school seems to know and it feels like she always has a new best friend.

She has a very strong and often opinionated personality, but will repeatedly put aside her desires to make someone else happy. For example, if we are going out as a family and she wants to get ice cream but both of brothers want to watch a movie, she will say we should go to the movie. She has a hard time being serious. Even when she's scared, hurt or mad, she often handles it with some humor.

She LOVES drawing. She also loves crafts and cooking/ baking. She loves to learn everything. She'll want to take a class or sport and before you know it, she'll be asking to take something else! She loves dates with Mommy or Daddy. She's like a mini teenager- she loves makeup, decorating, shopping, doing her hair and fashion and she can be quite sassy....

Her biggest interest of all, though, is having a little sister to love and take care of. She would do anything to make her dream come true! She loves her brothers, but a part of her heart as always felt she was missing out on what would be the greatest experience she could have as a child.

She is fiercely protective of her little brother, Jax.  She will often hold onto his hand if she feels he could get hurt or lost, even if we tell her he is perfectly safe. She loves reading him stories, helping him go to bed, playing with him, and even tries to teach him everything from letters and numbers to good choices. I know she will be an amazing "little mommy" for her baby sister and they will develop a bond that will last for a lifetime.
