Georgia picked out Tiana and was very upset that I wouldn't let her open THAT one while she had her opened one in her lap. "Need" is a strong word when it comes to toddlers having dolls, I agree. <br />But it's true that all Georgia wants to do is rock and snuggle babies and stuffed animals and push them around in her Ikea push-cart (she does this with anything she likes- remotes and Elmo t-shirts for example). I look less at the Belle doll this woman got her as a "Disney Princess" and more as a small, easily hold-able and soft doll. <br />All of these factors make my heart ache for another toddler girl who just might want to snuggle a baby doll this Christmas. I guess the woman who insisted on buying this one for Georgia had the same ache and I admire her for not being easily shoved off haha!<br />Anna, I love your comments.

I have the same Target trick of playing with a toy during the shopping, and it has worked much longer than I expected (knock on wood!). The fake accent lie is hilarious. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722228285986947583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22234584.post-4668423475556594612012-11-24T10:52:16.733-07:002012-11-24T10:52:16.733-07:00Okay, I don't know how to feel about that lady...Okay, I don't know how to feel about that lady at Target...bless her heart for her kindness, but...aren't YOU the mom here? I would have no idea how to react to this situation. <br /><br />And I can't tell you how many times I've faked an accent while asking for directions.

I AM OLDER THAN YOU!" and run out sobbing. but i didn't. i just left and whined to david about how very old i'm getting once i got home, and then wrote this mile-long blog comment about it.brandilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707145356350453673noreply@blogger.com
