Tutu has a magic power over girls. My daught loves tutu and she is automatically happy when she put those on. (BTW, my daughter is called 小妹 in our family as well. and she is turned 4 in Jan. So I guess the two XiaoMei are in similar age.) I always feel very related to your post when it comes to your kids. I think you do a beautiful job raising them and instilling the beauty/ love/ fashion sense in the daily life.
My hu*****and was searching for a baby doll like what you have for my daughter last Christmas, can I ask where you get that? Hopefully within U. S. He found a German workshop make those dolls and we ended up giving up on buy from the German website.
Cheers and enjoy the kids...
