You know by now that each member of my flock has a blog name. I truly hope that no one really thinks that I would name a child Sha Sha or Lil’ Rocker. Each person was given their cyber endearment because of an aspect of their personality or the unique person that they are.
Yao Yao was given her name before we ever met her. It is actually her real Chinese nickname. We still do call her Yao Yao sometimes and Lil’ Rocker will only call her Yan Yao (her full Chinese name). I knew that one day I would be able to change her cyber name to something that really represented the special person she was created to be. I didn’t dwell on the name change. I figured it would just “come” to me one day.
And sure enough it did. 
Recently, I was describing Yao Yao to someone and I said, “she is just so happy. She just sparkles with life.”
And that is when it “hit me”.
Sparkles.
That one word fully encompasses the essence of her personality.
She is very dramatic especially with her facial expressions. She loves to sing. She loves to dance. She loves to talk . She loves to laugh. She is charismatic. She is friendly.
She simply… just sparkles.

That is cool! She is adorable!
Love it! Why do I want to call her Lulu Sparkles? Is that a character in something? She definitely sparkles!
Now a question - how do you get the fun fonts in your posts?
What a perfect nickname for the little princess who lights up our lives with her brilliant smile! She truly is a fireball!
I love it!:)
She DOES sparkle... it comes through loud and clear in your photos and the stories you share about her.
(And are you a better momma because you chose the nickname Sparkles, but I landed my daughter with the Tongginator? Uh-oh.)
I LOVE the photo of her with stickers all over her face! How great! What a little "Sparkles" indeed!
perfect name!
Sparkles indeed. That is what the love of a good family does for you. She has blossomed soooo much since China. Love how everyone is beginning to "gel"
THAT SHE DOES!!!
