Cutie Ailee

Jackson, Lance, and Mylee leave for the bus stop at 7:00 AM, so I'm rarely ever awake to hang out with them before school starts. Ailee, however, gets up after I do and therefore I get to pretend she's my little dolly and help her get dressed. And being a hair enthusiast, I love doing her hair. 

Some days she lets me, and some days she doesn't. But it's getting easier because I am brainwashing her little by little. In the mornings we just like to repeat to each other: "Ponytails don't hurt. They're just pretty." This isn't evil, is it? I mean, it can't be a crime if you get a cute girl looking like this every day:

right?

She fell asleep when Ie Mei was reading to her the other night.

Last Week

This little girl turned 2. She is my 11th niece/nephew. And I remember that because she was born on 11-11. Except sometimes I'm not a very good aunt and I forget even though that is so easy to remember! So, I know this little post doesn't make up for not calling little Ailee Anne on her birthday, but maybe one day she'll be able to read this and know that I love her so so much.

I love Ailee Anne because she is just the cutest bundle of joy. I love her little raspy laugh and the way she says "uh-huh" when you ask her a question. I love her little waddle and that she calls me Ie Ling when I talk to her on the phone.

She can instantly bring a smile to my face. Thank you Ailee Anne, for being a source of happiness for me. I love you! Happy 2nd Birthday!
