It always seemed a waste of time to me (just as much as GI Joe or Action Man figures for boys -- still haven't figured that one out, other than the possibility that boys have an innate desire to destroy things), but the concept of a nurturing instinct makes sense to me.Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08800188893598971356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-11130367271299504172009-01-03T14:09:00.000-06:002009-01-03T14:09:00.000-06:00Marian, I was going to suggest eBay, but when I we...Marian, I was going to suggest eBay, but when I went to look at the Mia outfits, I saw they're selling for more than twice was they did in the store. gulp. My lack of (interest in) sewing skills is a punishment now that I have a daughter. <BR/><BR/>My older son told me about the doll hospital last night as I was stuffing Emily's head back into her shoulders and tying the bodysuit more snugly around her neck. We were able to treat her at home. This time. Oh, the people getting rich off mothers like us...Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846665855246867179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-29239414915107250022009-01-03T13:57:00.000-06:002009-01-03T13:57:00.000-06:00TOO TRUE!

(Especially the last statement and inspiration for your title.) <BR/><BR/>You made me flash back to my own doll-head tragedy at the hands of my own brother. She was not of the ridiculously expensive type, but she was one of the few that I had and actually cared for. For a sister with a doll and a brother, it must be a rite of passage.<BR/><BR/>My own daughter-with-3-brothers did turn out to be shockingly girly-girly. Her first visit to the AG store was at the small one in Alpharetta, GA this past summer, where we HAD to get a Kirsten doll. We'd just done the Pioneer Trek, after all, and needed something extra-special to commemorate that, right? She desperately wanted Mia (2008 doll of the year - also a sister in a multi-boy household), too, but I wanted to hold off on that one for a bit. I had to see if the first (ridiculously expensive) doll was a wise investment before I relented on any additions to the (ridiculously expensive) doll family. I bought Mia online and stored her, but now we can't get any of the skating dresses to go with her! (Michael's job loss came at an inconvenient time for Christmas purchases. Now they've stopped selling them because she was the 2008 doll.) I never thought of asking YOU to pick up one of these treasures when you happened to be in the mega-store there in Chicago! <BR/><BR/>By the way, they do have a doll hospital there. I'm sure they're quite accustomed to dolls, girls, and moms losing their heads regularly in that place.mnmsalyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484381652502995550noreply@blogger.com
