We went into the kids’ bedroom last night to check on Alden and Kato (generally, they “put themselves to bed” which means we sometimes find them asleep on the floor on top of a pile of books and toys). Apparently Alden is still on Alaska time and clime – her choice of pajamas suggests a real lack of appreciation for the current temperatures in Chestertown:

Or, perhaps it’s that now she’s back in her own spacious bed, she’s feeling the need to get snuggly, substituting in flannel pajamas and a wool hat for her two warm-blooded brothers.

Either way, I applaud her foresight – be it for the coming winter or the coming years (when she will have to share her 8’x8′ bedroom with both brothers).
