Comment on Notre Dame

Just a small comment on our visit to Notre Dame... As we wandered around inside, I tried to point out to the girls the "windows that told stories" and the windows that were just pretty. There were some cool models of the building itself and of course lots of candles that Amelia liked quite a bit. I found myself unable to tell Josephine the whole story of Christ as described in the stained glass but I did hope she'd recognize some figures from other stories she's heard ... wherever. On the way out, I was pushing Amelia in the stroller and Josephine was walking beside us. Josephine kindly pushed the door open but then Amelia said no she didn't want to go, she wanted to stay. Wow, I thought, she really liked the windows, the architecture (the candles, maybe) "do you want to go back in" I asked? "Yes," she said, "this time, I want to open the door myself."
