Questions and necklaces

Julia asked a very astute question this morning, after examining a sticker proclaiming "Yes!" in her new sheet of Highlights stickers she received in the mail:

"Mom? Why sometimes is there an upside-down lower case 'I' at the end of words?"

And in other news, the girls had a great time at their friend Cooper's birthday party in Rhode Island yesterday ("Pirate Island!" as Madeleine called it.) They have been ecstatically going through the loot in their goody bags since the party ended, and among the favorite goodies are the little plastic beaded necklaces they both received. They modeled their new necklaces yesterday and today. I especially like Madeleine's bohemian chic look today, complete with knitted winter cap and sandals.
