The other day Daniela was doing some writing in her bedroom. Occasionally she would poke her head out of the room to ask me how to spell this or that word in French. When she was done she showed me what she did: her letter to Santa, which I'm proud to say she wrote in French all by herself.
When I read the word "fillette," I pronounced it "fee-let" (as in filet mignon), but she corrected me: fillette (fee-yet), which means little girl.
