Emily


My mom says my life is like the story Eloise. It's about a little girl, just like me, who lives in a big hotel and is very good friends with all the staff. I am good friends with a lot of staff.

When you come to the door of the hotel, there are, like, eighty people welcoming you and talking to you. Every time you pass by one of the staff, they go, "Good day." It's part of their job to say that.

When my friend sleeps over, we wake up at seven and go to the pool and splash around, because everybody here wakes up at twelve and has breakfast at three. They are sleepyheads.

I can do more things here, like jump on my bed. It's kind of weird, though. You make a mess and when you go back to clean it up, people have already come and cleaned it. Every second they are cleaning your room.

My nanny, Yolanda, is almost like our family. She plays with us. Gladys and Marcella are our housekeepers, and Renee- he kind of, like, washes the cars and stuff like that. And since we moved into the hotel, my mom didn't want to lose them and give away their jobs, so now they are with us at the hotel, and it's kind of fun for us all.

In the bathroom, there are mirrors everywhere, just like I love. It's kind of fun, because I can spend five hours looking at myself in the mirror and doing my hair and posing for myself. I want to be a model for magazines and videos and TV shows and stuff.

Today I wanted to know what it was like to shave, so my mom got me a razor and shaving cream and I shaved my legs, and I love it because it feels like baby skin. Everybody I know shaves their legs, and I think it's about time I shave mine.
