First, Isabelle decided to give me back everything I had ever made for her which didn't make her heart go pittipat.
Then we put together a bag to give away to other children (in order to maintain good relations with our friends and relatives, we have decided to keep this pile anonymous, so you only get to see the size of the bag).
Now for those of you who worry that I cruelly took away all my child's possessions, here is a glimpse of what we do end up keeping.
You can see that the ideal of the ONE bear is far far off, but still, we've made some progress!
(there is a hidden moral in this story which some of you clever cloggs might have picked up on already, but let me spell it out for you, just in case: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, DON'T GIVE ISABELLE ANYMORE DOLLS OR SOFT TOYS ! NEVER AGAIN. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.)

I can't believe Olijfje en Archie didn't make the cut. Otherwise, all I have to say is that you and Isabelle are wise and brave. I must get my hands on a copy of that book. Both of my girls and I need to do this thing - they with their stuffed animals, me with my stuffed closets.
