American Girl

Years ago when Ellie asked for an American Doll we told her that you had to read the books by yourself before you could have one. We figured it would buy us years. Like until she was 8, the recommended age for the dolls.

Well as she sees her birthday rapidly approaching on the horizon she has a quest for a doll (and it didn't help that we just got a catalog in the mail). She asked to go to the library to get a book to try and read. So we did. I told her she had to get one of the first books in the doll series (Meet Kit, Meet Molly, etc) but whatever book she picked didn't mean she had to eventually get that doll. Well she picked Meet Kirsten, which was the doll I had as a little girl. I remembered the basics of her story (immigrant from Sweden, etc). And it looks like she will finish the book tonight. Which means she will ask for a doll for her birthday.
