I have wanted to buy Maddie a baby doll for a while now. Every time she is at my mother's house she walks around with this 1950's era devil doll. Well, actually it is my mother's favorite doll from when she was a child. Imagine Chucky with a female smirk permanently emblazoned on his face and you will get a small dose of what it is like to gaze into this thing's eyes. Quite frankly, I am scared of it. I know you probably think I exaggerate, so next time I am there, I am going to take a picture of it.
So, I thought that if maddie can love something that ugly/scary, then she deserves something that she would actually admit to owning. So, after much convincing, I coerced my wife into buying Maddie an American Girl Bitty Baby. I only got her to purchase it by agreeing to wait until Christmas to give it to Maddie. Mind you, this is the girl who never went to the zoo until 2 weeks ago, so what can she know.
I finally backed her into a corner and got her to barter Maddies Bitty Baby for something inconsequential when compared to my daughter's first baby doll. And, tonight, we finally gave the baby to Maddie. Kacey was still ridiculing me as we gave it to her. But, as you can see in the following youtube video, Maddie liked the doll just a little bit. In fact, she kissed it goodnight and tucked it in before we put her to sleep.
While my wife is incredible intelligent and is usually right when we argue, SHE WAS WRONG AND I WAS RIGHT. Sorry, just had to get that off my mind!!! Enjoy the clip and hopefully, you will hear from me on a more regular basis going forward.
