dolls

Veronika is finally starting to like playing dolls!! It’s a real turning point from babyhood to toddlerhood. She doesn’t just pitch her dolls aside or chew on them anymore; now she picks them up and kisses them and sings to them. She tucks them in to bed and gets them undressed and lovingly carries them around upside down! And right now she’s standing beside me vigorously changing a messy diaper and exclaiming how much it stinks!! Oh, the joys of being a little girl!!

See that stiff doll she’s holding? In the pictures it looks cute but it’s the hardest, stiffest, ugliest, doll she has and of course its her favorite one! Whenever she sees it she rushes over to it and snatches it up, wraps it in her favorite blankie and talks to it! While she completely ignores the cute, cuddly dolls sitting nearby!!

That’s the beauty of kids- their love is completely blind!!

And what is cuter than a sleeping toddler with her favorite teddy bear?

Are little girls naturally born to be mothers or is it taught by adults in action? I never liked to play with dolls but I loved to sew for dolls.
