Katy – napped from ~1:00-3:00, then went out with me to Jamison Salvos, where we scored mightily. Lots of gorgeous wooden fruit for her kitchen, dress-up clothes and shoes for her Christmas basket, a wooden dragon mobile, and a basket of big, colourful wooden shapes with notches in the sides for fitting together. Now (4:30) she’s watching the recording of this afternoon’s Playschool episode.
