There are two Elle's, an Ella and an Ellie on your soccer team. You asked Coach Bree to call you Bob while joking around and it stuck. Your new soccer backpack is even monogrammed "Bob". Coach Bree will yell "Elle" to get your attention, and when you don't respond she yells "Bob" and you look to her right away. It's helped you form a great bond with Coach Bree.
You continue to love soccer and are focused on becoming a better player and teammate. You don't appreciate it when your teammates goof around or are distracted.
You and Farrah are still very close. You two are usually hilarious when you're together because you have so much fun laughing and being obnoxious... you allow each other space to be yourselves and that is gold in a friendship.
You now know about sex. Max and Elise were talking about watching the show, The Wonder Years. Elise said it was "highly inappropriate" because they're going through sex education in school. You begged them insistently to tell you what they were talking about. Elise finally said, "sex" and you then demanded they tell you what sex is. They refused (thankfully), so you came home and demanded I tell you. I took a deep breath and told you after I finished dinner and dishes. Dad was going to be home late, so I was on my own with this one! The next morning, you came out and ran straight to Dad and announced, "Mom told me about the sex last night!" You were so proud to know.
You continue to love music! You are influenced by your cousins and currently like to listen to Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Grande, and our family favorite, Surfaces/Forrest.
You are beginning to notice style and trends. After spending time with your cousins, you asked for baggy sweatpants and sports bras, and want to wear crop tops. For soccer you ask for the high pony braid Paityn wore during her Surf Cup soccer tournament here.
You are incredibly observant and notice everything around you more closely than most of us. This includes details about people around us in public-what they're wearing, doing, saying, and also things like specific songs that were playing in the grocery store. You'll bring these details up a few days later and expect that we all remember them too. This is definitely a gift you have.
