Lorien is 4 yrs old!

Kids grow up too fast! I've heard my mom say it and I think that's why she had so many, but I didn't realize it till my little baby turned 4 and is so close to going to school! It's amazing. She is so smart. She got a cd player and a bunch of cd's for her b-day. She changes the discs and sings along to them all day long. Her favorite is Hairspray, I think. She likes Grampa Stolp's music a lot too. And the Disney cd's are played a lot too. Her other toys occationally come out to dance and play with her too. Especially the dress up stuff she got for Christmas. One sad thing is that she has to quit Karate (I can't spell ti-quan-do). She's been in it for 1 year now and loves it, but they keep raising the cost, so we gotta let it go. But we're excited to have her try dancing and gymnastics and swimming and all sorts of things. Lorien loves to make her sister laugh and wants to hold her whenever someone else is holding her. She plays with her and gets mad when she grabs her toys. I keep telling Lorien that Vanessa doesn't know that she's not supposed to grab. The worst is when Vanessa knocks over a block tower! I have to remember not to laugh. But it's so cute!
