Do you have a special doll story or a strange coincidence relating to a doll?


I gave all of my dolls birthdays when I was little. One doll that I got at Toys R Us when I was very young became very important to me and I would pretend she was the little sister of my Felicity doll. Her name was Nicole, and I had given her the birthday of April 11th. (For no specific reason!)

We are very close with our neighbors' family. When my neighbor had a baby girl when I was a young teenager, she named the baby Nicole. Guess what day of the year Nicole was born on? APRIL 11TH. (There ARE 364 other days she could have been born on, of course!!)

I thought it was the freakiest thing but neither my mom nor Nicole's mom thought it was anything remarkable. Another coincidence is that the exact time of her birth is the exact number of my apartment building. The best part is that Nicole and I just have this connection; I'm an only child, but she really is like my little sister. She's four now and we are obsessed with each other! I love her like I would a sister. [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]


My Nicole doll is now all raggedy, and really quite ugly (she was a Magic Bottle Baby of the late 80s/early 90s that is bald except for a little sprig of blond hair poking straight up [img]eek.gif[/img] ) but she is still so special to me because of my real-life doll!


What's your special doll story?
