Male Female

I would love to describe my niece. She's the child I probably know best. She's my sister's daughter, and she's almost eleven years old now. I see her every day because we live in the same apartment building, on the same floor, actually! If I open my door, I can see hers right there. So I see her pretty much every day, or at least I can hear her. She's eleven, but I still feel like she's a baby. I don't know if it's me or my perception, but she seems so immature, if I can call it that. She's childish in the best way possible. She sometimes acts silly, sometimes she's fancy, I would say. She loves playing pretend and showing off. It might sound like I'm listing negative traits, but it's not true. These are the things I adore about her. She's really active, full of life, and brisk. Sometimes I think she has more boyish energy because she's reckless. I have a lot of feelings about her. She's a part of me. She's going to be a lovely person in the future, and she is right now. She loves animals, she's going to take care of everyone around her, and she's just full of sunshine. I really love her, and I hope she'll be a happy person in the future.
