I am interested in the Daughter’s affinity for her toys. A couple years ago, she was really into her stuffed animals, to the virtual exclusion of her dolls.
More recently, though, the trend has switched. While she still has her stuffed toys, she is now more inclined to play with her dolls, especially Mariah (above) and Elizabeth (below).
I think there are two primary reasons for the switch. One is that, as the Daughter is become more interested in clothes, she’s been making apparel for her dolls. She’s getting rather good at it, too, thanks to her grandmother. The other is her allergies to her stuffed creatures, so she can usually have but one at a time. Usually it’s her large unicorn named Unicorn who makes the cut.
I learned that my daughter can keep track of all of her dozen and a half dolls. Moreover, she expects her parents to remember them too. Her male parent is not as good at this as she would like.
I wonder how Mariah and Elizabeth will feel about yesterday’s newcomer?

LOL! We have our daughters’ American Girl dolls and I found myself pausing to try and remember their names the other day! I’m sure Mariah and Elizabeth will welcome a new friend into the clan.
