The way you handle your dolls is exactly what we did with our daughter's AG's. She was so careful with her AG's...and yet she and lots of her friends played with them all of the time. I just taught her that they were special...and she seemed to understand. Her friends loved coming over here...there was no one else they knew of that had all of the American Girl dolls!

We just finished putting all of her AG's and clothing away....it was kind of sad...she is now saving them for her daughter! ( if she ever has one!)

Now...her mother...has AG's all over the place! LOL forums
