Dramatis Personae (Anna)

For a long time, Emma didn't particularly care about her stuffed animals and things either way. But in the last few weeks, they have become very important to her. Each night, there's a new animal that simply must be tucked into bed with her, and in the morning she gathers up at least three of them in her arms and looks at us as if to say, "Ok, NOW, I'm ready." And she definitely notices when they're missing.
