Charlotte Through My
Eyes
Charlotte was a pretty easy child to
raise. She was a happy baby and spent a lot of her time entertaining
herself in her swing or jumper. During her toddler years she was sort
of an "outdoor girl," going out to get wood or going ice fishing
because she was too young to go to head start. I don't remember her
throwing fits or wanting to get her way as much as the boys did.
Charlotte was always busy because she had an older brother and her
cousin Jenny to hang out with. I never had to worry too much as long
as I knew she was with the "bigger kids." She also liked spending
time with her grandmother, Exenia Fitka, because Exenia had a lot of
patience with kids and she let Charlotte "help" her with stuff like
making bread, washing dishes and cleaning up. Exenia also taught
Charlotte how to sew. So Charlotte was at her grandma's house a
lot.
During her school days she always
liked doing her homework and competing in school sports and other
activities. Charlotte always enjoyed school. I never had to look for
her at curfew time because she always knew when she was expected to
be home. I've never pushed chores very much, but she usually does
what she is asked. She usually grumbles loudly but it blows
over.
I thought I would have a lot of
problems with Charlotte during her teenage years, but she is pretty
easy to communicate with and she lets us know when she is down. She
usually understands that even though things are really tough right
now, they usually get better. But like all teenagers, Charlotte
sometimes does what we tell her not to do.
Now that Charlotte is almost done
with high school, I'm glad she set her own high standards throughout
her school years and tried her best at everything she wanted to do
because it will help her when she goes into the world on her own.
Overall Charlotte is a fun person to have around because she usually
has a sense of humor and a great appreciation for life
itself.
As her parents, Ray and I tried to
give her a lot of support when she decided what she wanted to do, and
encouragement when times were tough. That seemed to work out okay
around here.
