Laurie Lou

This should be fun, Jenni tagged Lauren during a game of kiddo-tag and I'm to tell 5 little known facts about her!

1- Lauren is creative. She is always making up dances, skits, songs, drawing pictures, making cards etc (I find a card on my pillow all the time!) FHE is always fun and exciting when she is in charge. She loves to enter the reflections contest and is currently deciding which of her many ideas she should use this year. She just asked me the other day if for her birthday, she could decorate her own cake!
2- She is so smart and catches onto things fast. This is very helpful for school and piano and especially for me - she is my brain when mine is on overload and don't remember certain things (gets kinda scary!)
3- She is musical. Lauren sings & dances around the house all the time and even makes up routines - the girl has great rhythm, and I admit it is not something she got from me! She has loved singing in school and ward choirs. She started piano this last summer and has really taken off with it, we are already enjoying listening to her play.
4- She is so great with kids! Frequently she has her brother and sisters together doing some kind of activity - they love this! She often mentions how when she grows up she wants to be a teacher and have her own preschool. I think she would do great with that!
5- She is my best helper, honestly, I don't know what I would do without her. Without being asked she is always dressing her sisters & doing their hair. She is and will be a fantastic babysitter. The other night Braxton took me out and Lauren was left in charge (with G'ma & G'pa overseeing!) They reported later that she fed them dinner, got them all to clean up together, had them playing games and cutting out snowflakes, got them ready for bed, and when Eileen came up to spearhead family prayer, they had already had it! I was very impressed!
I have to add a number 6 - She is so excited for her own bedroom. I wish I could post the cute drawing she's made of how she is going to organize and decorate it - seriously, you wouldn't believe the detail! (Colors are to be turqouise and lime green!)
We love you Lauren, thanks for being you!

I'm thrilled to have you back in Syracuse so that I can soon use Lauryn as a babysitter. She is an amazing girl!
