"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

The Doll Phase Begins!!

A couple days ago I was checking out at Toys R' Us and a lady behind me said "can I ask you a strange question?" I walked over to her and she asked if I wanted the Cabbage Patch Doll in her shopping cart. She only wanted the clothes it was wearing and not the doll. I replied with a very excited "yes". I asked if she wanted anything in return, but she didn't want any money for it. So we went outside and she stripped the doll and gave me the naked baby. So basically she paid $32 for a doll outfit! Apparently she has a collection and has already purchased all the other outfits. I said "thank you" a million times and she was happy to give. When I gave the doll to McKenna she smiled a huge smile and gave it a big squeeze. It was perfect timing! I've been wanting to buy her a girl toy since she only plays with swords and trucks. So McKenna has her first Cabbage Patch Doll. It's naked, but it's hers. :) We'll buy an outfit for it one of these days.

She is the cutest! I know how worried you've been about her not having anything girly, so I'm glad this worked out so well. :) And I LOVE the snorting smile, you should try to get it on video!
