My "Keeper" is...

     My keeper is my friend's sister, Peyton.  She is eight years younger than us, therefore she is only seven years old and I can tell she thinks of me as a role model.  Her older half-sister and I are good friends, so whenever we hang out she always wants to be with us!  She does have a younger sister, so I think she likes to hang out with the older girls because she thinks she is one of the older girls.  She is constantly asking us if we can put make up on her or do her hair.  Also, whenever we go to the mall, she wants to tag along with us.  I feel obligated to act like one of her older sister's because her half-sister isn't always there.  I think it is very flattering that she looks to me as a sister!  I try to do my best to be a good role model for her!
