Hanna has been attending a Waldorf school for the last 8 years, and plans to continue her high school education in a Waldorf high school starting next year. She works very hard at being a good student, and has made us all so proud of her. The Waldorf style has been extremely good for Hanna and her brother Devan, and we know that Hanna will excel over the next four years. I've got to admit that I was skeptical about the non-traditional education protocol, but these young people have so benefited from it that I have had to change my mind. Even us old dogs can be taught....eventually...
A few years ago, Hanna scared me. When she was much younger, she had a look that she would throw at us when she was unhappy that would melt titanium. We fully expected her to undergo exorcism. They make movies about what this girl would do. When she would look at an open loaf of bread, it would wrap itself and put the plastic clip on just out of fear. The dogs refused to do their business if she took them for a walk. Her bicycle tires instantly went flat when she wanted to ride. But we loved her.
And then....
Hanna is the sweetest, most loveable girl. She will do anything to help anyone in her life, and is helpful, considerate, and thorough. She has a large circle of friends and is loved by all. For Christmas 2011, Hanna (with a little help from her Grammy) worked her fingers to the bone for weeks sewing pajamas for every member of the family. I don't know who enjoyed the experience the most, but I can tell you that Hanna's Grammy will treasure the memory forever. Thank you, Hanna.
Happy Birthday, Hanna!
