Dot was so small she wore the same shoes as her doll. She swam in the birdbath. She jumped rope with a piece of yarn. Her bed was a mitten. Her father built her a doll house, and she lived in it. At the end of this story from his mother, the two of them agree that one of the reasons that his mother looked forward to growing up was to share stories with a child of her own.
