She has become more precious too me because Robert found her. So the head stays on!
She also reminds me of my 15 DD dear friend Crystal. Crystal Mom is African American and her Father is white. Crystal hair is just like Addysbut she is just a little lighter. I tell Crystal she has the blessing of two worlds in her. Maybe that is why Allyson was so attracted to the doll.
I could not even imagine letting Caroline playing with all this hair. She will play and love her but playing with her hair will be a No-No. I would hate to have more damage .
Her hair looks GREAT pulled back in a pony-tail.

I won't post my Addy picture, then.
I'm glad you're happy with her. I did look at mine, and she does have some hair breakage in the back. Not much, but certainly more than I thought. I honestly thought she didn't have any!
I wonder if this just naturally happens over time?
Anyway....did you end up keeping her out, or is she put away for Caroline's B-day?
-
I have not decide yet, what to do. I am going to get her eyes fixed first.
I know she will not be my doll personally. I love giving to my children.Caroline and I played together alot and she shares really well [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I am having more trouble now, who I should give Addy to. Allyson or Caroline. Allyson does not have a doll. I did not even know what an AG doll was until two years ago.
I am leaning towards though of giving her too Allyson.
1, She loved her (cool in her words)
2. She reminds her of her sweet pal Crystal

Aww...I don't blame you for thinking of Allyson.
Have you guys read any of Addy's books? They're wonderful!
Edited to say: Your new found love for Addy has gotten me thinking about mine again. I think I just might pull her books out today, re-style her hair, and change her outfit. I love my Addy. She brings back so many memories of my DD's childhood, and that special time we spent together collecting AG.

I don't have her books yet, but her Meet outfit and her books are on the top of my list!
Thanks so much for your help!

One thing: Parts of the first book were kind of scarey for Molly, ( my DD) when she was six. We had to stop reading it, and went back to it when she was a little bit older. It might not bother Caroline...but thought I would mention it.
Molly was broken hearted for Addy, and it hurt her too much to read that first story for a while.
Oh...I love your Avitar!

Thanks for the heads -up. Caroline is very sensitive . In Kirsten books she got so upset when Kirtsen's friend died. She question why for WEEKS!
The pictures is of my precious Caroline. I had matching nightgowns made for her and Kirsten for Christmas. I wish I could make the picture clearer. I resizes it as big as the advatoir would take. Maybe if I cropped some of the bed out that would help.
BTW I could hear the love you have for your daughter in your post. I know how you feel...BUT WHY DO THEY HAVE TO GROW-UP [img]graemlins/cry_smile.gif[/img]

Molly was pretty upset with that first Kirsten book, too. She was reading independantly when I got her that one. She was actually angry about that story! She still is! She mentioned it not long ago. She got Kirsten for Christmas when she was in second grade.
Yes...Molly and I are close. She's 18, and can still be rebellious, but she and I have a strong bond. I never wanted my kids to grow up, but now I am looking forward to having her as an adult friend, too. I am so hoping she will live close enough that she and I can spend lots of time together. She makes her own decisions now, of course, and that can be hard for me. Especially when I know she's being silly.
My son is 17, and he is my youngest. I'm only 41...so I don't know what I'm going to do! I've been home with them since DS was 7-mos. old.
I guess I'll just putz around my house for the next half of my life! LOL!!!!!

That is a great way to look how to deal with your children growing up. Allyson is 15 and we are VERY close but we can but heads for sure. Allyson's father left when she was a baby so she became my even closer to my heart .
Do like I did...Start over and have a baby at 43!
Elijah had his 4th birthday Friday and when everyone sang Happy Birthday, I could feel the tears weld up!!!!!

Molly and I are like two mountain goats sometimes! DH is a very calm guy, and has taken to intercepting me before I get upset! It's hilarious! DD doesn't know he does that...she probably thinks I'm just senile.
DH and I were just talking yesterday about how we wish we could have had a couple more kids. We made the decision not to, and now I can't anymore. We decided not to have any more, because we had such a hard time getting these two, and it was really hard on us. So we really cherish these guys.
We spend lots of time making over our nieces and nephews. That helps...and I don't suppose I'm too far from Grandmotherhood! [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] Okay...that's a few years away yet....
Editing to say: I am the baby of my family, and my mom was 38 when I was born, dad was 40. My dad's gone, but my mom lives down the road from me. She's one of my best friends....
