One of the rare, unexpected, and wonderful fruits of Christmas...

Tonight, I went into Madeleine's room to brush her teeth before bed, only to find out that she and Daniel were a bit busy...  For Christmas, she received an entire wardrobe of clothes for her American Girl doll (including the wooden wardrobe itself), mostly hand-made by her grandmother, and when I opened the bedroom door, I saw Daniel kneeling next to the wardrobe, eagerly selecting bloomers for Marie-Grace, as part of the task of putting her in pajamas before bed.
