Skyler and I finished reading her American Girl doll book which was a condition of her getting her first doll. I would be lying if I said it was an enjoyable experience from my standpoint – the store is excessive, the sales woman talked baby talk the whole time and the prices were outrageous. But the excitement on Skyler’s face and in her eyes as she chaotically bounced through the store looking at every last thing made it worth it. Grandma bought the outfits (more expensive than the back to school outfits I bought Skyler) and the glasses and I bought the doll, the special brush and the hair ties. Good grief. But look at her darling face as walked out….
