After Mom and Dad bought the house, we spent every day there to fix it up. Even Christmas. Well, Mom and Dad fixed it up. We kids stayed out of the way.

At that point in time, Kathryn was afraid of dolls. Mom thought she'd try getting her a glowworm to see if she'd like that any better, but she didn't.

When we went over to work on the house, Lydia, Jeanette, and I each brought a new doll we had gotten for Christmas. When Kathryn saw us all ready to leave with our dolls, she went and got the glowworm. Apparently being like us was more important than her fear.
