Valentine's Day

[pne]

For Valentine's Day today, I gave Stella a little bag with a little teddy bear inside it, and a heart-shaped case with rose-bud-shaped soap (you can take little petals off the buds and use them as soap, or take an entire bud apart and spread it on your bathwater).

She was rather surprised, since (she says) I've never given her anything for Valentine's Day before. And a little embarrassed because she didn't have anything for me. But she seemed happy about the present, and touched.

And then Amy came into the room crying because she wanted to play with something and rather spoiled our little "moment".
