Lilly has a friend who introduced her to American Girl Dolls. I shouldn't be surprised that she likes them because she has always enjoyed dolls but I was not prepared for how much she wanted one. She studies the American Girl catalog. She knows all the names of the dolls. She plays them with her friend. This is all new to me so I called my mother-in-law to find out if I really needed to spend that kind of money on a doll. She was kind enough to give one of her dolls to Lilly. I got it in the mail and had it in the box next to me one night when Lilly got out of bed and came down. I wasn't able to close the box fast enough and she saw it. She got a huge grin on her face but went back to bed without saying much about it. The next morning she came down and said she had had an amazing dream that she got an AG doll. I thought I had an easy out and I said yes she had had a dream. She started sobbing...absolutely crushed because she thought it had been real. It broke my heart! So I let her open her birthday present a little early. I have never seen someone so happy to get something.
The doll hasn't left her side for two days!! It is adorable!
