So I am NOT a fan of Barbie but I do love dolls for little girls to play with. We have one Barbie and she is one from the 1950's. Perhaps to my salvation though is Jodi's new interest in bigger dolls, specifically the American Girl dolls. I got the Felicity doll when I was 12 and have kept it as a "no play toy" until now. My youngest sisters got American girl stuff for Christmas and they've been playing with them every time we've visited lately so Jodi has really noticed the dolls. Well I've seen Toy Story 2 and I can't just leave a toy on the shelf when there is a little girl who will take it with her everywhere. Its been 2 days since I pulled it down for her and she wants to play with it all the time. (Now I'm going to need to start sewing her more clothes!) I still remember the first time I looked at the American Girl magazine when I was about 8 and I FINALLY got one at 12. Now I have a little girl who loves it just as much as I did and that is so fun to see!

I love American Girl dolls! I always thought it was cool that there was one with my name (well not exactly but close)
I have my Felicity, Kristen and Addy American girls put away for when I have a girl. I loved those dolls when I was younger. I bet Jodi is LOVING her new friend! :)
We just got Hailey a knock-off doll for Christmas and she LOVES it! It is so fun to sew clothes and see her interact with an older (not baby) doll.
