The Crown Princely couple looks amazing, can't believe they're both over 40.

Ooooh Princess Aiko with her mouth open, so cute.

ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME FOR NARUHITO FROM LITTLE AIKO

http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2006/03/22/princessaiko/

Her daddy was back home after an overseas trip, and little Princess Aiko's excitement over his return was clear for all to see. As Crown Prince Naruhito pulled up in a limo, his four-year-old daughter couldn't even wait for him to get out of the car before calling out enthusiastically to greet him.

And when the prince, who was returning from Mexico where he has been attending the World Water Forum, stepped forward to gently stroke the youngster's hair, Aiko's face, as she clung on tightly to her mum's hand, was wreathed in smiles.

Aiko is just too cute for words. She always has a white cardigan draped over her little dresses. :) BTW, when is her birthday?

Yes, I also noticed that the cardigan has been added to her wardrobe lately... makes her look so dainty and grown-up. :) Her birthday is December 1. You can find some articles and pics released for her last birthday on this thread.

More photos of Aiko's visit to Disneyland Resort on March 13, 2006.

From Profimedia
These are the photos of when she visited the Disneyland. Here you can see that Aiko is wearing Marie's Passport ticket holder on her neck. (Very cute:) )
In the first photo you can see Masako's sister's son is behind Naruhito (the little blue coat)

Something extra (crop photo from Profimedia)
From this photo below on the occasion when Aiko bids farewell to her father Naruhito as he leaves for his Mexico trip just 2 days after their visit to Disney resort, Aiko still misses her trip to Disney as she clungs on to the Disney passort ticket.

Thanks for the photos, Mandyy. Masako looks warm in that coat! Do you know when Aiko begins kindergarten? It is soon, I think.

Top aide to crown prince's household wishes Princess Aiko well

...............Referring to the princess entering the Gakushuin Kindergarten in Tokyo in mid-April, the 54-year-old Hayashida told reporters, "My heart is full." Hayashida assumed the post of chief chamberlain of the crown prince's household in November 2001, just before Princess Aiko was born, and became grand master in May 2002..............................

.....I guess we still have to wait for a few more days or at least a week before Aiko begins Kindergarten

Awwwwwww..another Daddy's girl, just like her counterpart Princess Elisabeth of Belgium :)
Although I'm sure the IHA wasn't pleased with her enthusiasm (sarcasm)

Thank you for the news regarding kindergarten Mandyy - I hope there will be photos of this dear family! I am confused -- they refer to this top aide at the Prince's household saying "my heart is full" and that he has been with the family in that capacity since 2001 -- yet I thought the top aide was just appointed and is a friend of Masako's family. What have I got wrong here?

Hayashida was the one who said "my heart is full". He is the old chamberlain and is retiring on April 6.... Nomura is resuming the new post as the Top aide to the Crown Prince's Household and replacing Hayashida
