A Skip and a Hop to China!

At the school I live in a complex with some of the other teachers. Sam and mine apartments are on the bottom of the complex and are a lot bigger than the other teachers. Anyways, a few of the teachers have little families with one or two kids. There are about 5 or 6 kids total. All of them re so adorable. Four of them are my favorite. They aren’t sisters but they hang out together all the time. I wish I knew their names but they are all in Chinese. Two are 4 years old and the others are 2, I think. Often they will come running up to my door and knock on it. They then giggle and talk in Chinese to me. I just smile and tickle them. When I have candy I give some to them. They love it. When I give them candy or I tickle them they giggle and squeal with delight. It reminds me so much of Alaina and Abby. For the last few weeks when they come to see me they call me Ayee or Aunt. Its so cute!! Since Autumn isn’t married I don’t have any nieces. I’m so glad that they adopted me as their aunt. One day after coming home from a holiday. I heard knocking at my door and went to answer it. It was one of my nieces with her hair all braided in pigtails and with cute hair pretties in it. I said Ni hao and she giggled and ran away. She ran out the door of our porch and yelled something to the other girls in Chinese. The only word that I understood was Ayee. I guess she yelled something about Ayee being back because three of my other nieces came running to my door. It was adorable. I just felt such love for them. They missed me!! I wish I could just take them home with me to America. But I don’t think their parents would approve. I am happy to be their aunt now and it will be very hard to leave them when I go back to America.
