Adorable Akina

We miss this little angel since we left for Dubai two weeks ago. She is my niece, Akina, who is half Japanese and her name means snow in Niponggo. Aki, as we lovingly call her, is a very sweet little four-year old who brightened our rainy stay in the Philippines. In the morning, she would come up to us and say "I love you". Sweet, ain't she?We wanted to take her everywhere we went because she is such a joy to be with. She is so adorable and cute. She would even volunteer to help me with the dishes. :-)
We did a series of photoshoot with her - sitting, standing, jumping, dancing and playing. She was so tired right after the shoot that she just wanted to lie down.
This picture looks like an ad for a kiddie vitamin.Four-year olds are so active. They seem to be on caffeine a lot...hyper mode!
We are so looking forward to seeing her again on Christmas. Don't you just wish that little girls stay as little girls?
