Known as the “princess of the house” Aime is a colorful spark in her family’s life. Her milestones hold a special place in their hearts—including when one of the first words she spoke was “dad”. Her first day of school was another unforgettable memory. Watching her walk through the doors with her ponytails and tiny backpack was a moment her family will always treasure.
In her early years, Aime faced sleep difficulties and underwent numerous hearing tests. Later, she received a diagnosis of autism. No matter what, Aime always brings joy to everyone around her. Her beauty, sweet spirit, and striking hair are often complimented, and her teachers and therapists adore her.
With a strong personality and a sharp sense of independence, Aime keeps everyone on their toes, especially her siblings. She is thoughtful, orderly, and determined to do things on her own. Whether it’s cleaning up after meals, dressing herself, or following a daily routine, Aime takes pride in being self-sufficient. Aime also loves riding her bike, shopping trips, playing with dolls, and copying everything Mom does with the baby.
Her mother says Aime motivates her to give her best every day. One proud moment occurred during a school meeting, where staff shared how much Aime had grown and advanced in her learning. Her progress since her first year has been remarkable.
Looking ahead, her mother hopes Aime continues her path of independence and progress. She dreams of a future where her daughter is confident, happy, and fully herself—strong-willed, kind-hearted, and blessed.
