Introducing...

Mahalet!

We (I) like to name our dolls after social workers that we know.  It just kind of happened once, and now it's a tradition.  Our last doll, Hannah (pronounced the Ethiopian way)... well... GRITS got sick one night and Hannah had to go... for health reasons.  Pobre Hannah!  But now everyone is happy to have Mahalet join our family.  The only problem is that GRITS is quite distracted by her hair and wants to know what's wrong with it!  He just won't accept her hairdo as legitimate.
