Have you seen little girls gravitate toward dolls that look like themselves, or dolls that look completely opposite themselves?

In my experience, I've watched girls wish for dolls that looked just like themselves when they were younger, but as they've grown older, wish for dolls that looked completely opposite. I love that American Girl dolls have a variety of hair/skin/eye colors!

I'm closely watching my friend's little girl, who is only 3 1/2 but VERY precocious, when she comes to our house. We have so much fun watching which dolls she wants to play with. Bitty's out for her, because she wants LONG HAIR on her dolls!!

They would rather have the Bitties than the "big girl" dolls! [img]wink.gif[/img]
