The Best Things in Life...

aren't always free, but sometimes they come from the Dollar Store. Since Megan is going to be out of town with her dad for Christmas, we took her over to my mom's for a "pre-Christmas" on Sunday. She got several presents from Mom, and one from her cousin Cedric. He found her a small, soft Belle doll from the Dollar Store. The doll stayed with her the rest of the day, Megan was thrilled with it. Unfortunately she left it upstairs and we forgot it when we left. We weren't even to the expressway when she wanted to know where it was. It was getting late, so we didn't go back - she was unexpectedly calm about that. The next day I picked up the doll and got it to her daycare just in time for naptime. She wasn't even surprised to see me - she just smiled, took the doll and whispered "Thank You" as she cuddled it on her cot. Unfortunately, not even Belle could get her to take a real nap :)
