This year, to congratulate Rosie on finishing 4th grade, Rosie got her first American Girl Doll. It was quite an experience. Rosie was running around the store squealing with delight at EVERYTHING in sight. While the store was just too much for me, her joy helped me push down the eye rolling moments.
It is the reaction I would hope to see relative to the cost of the doll. What made the prize even more amazing to me is what it said to Rosie about her self worth. After three years, plus, of Rosie seeing other kids get these dolls, and years of being told she couldn't have one, she finally got one.
In a way, in one little purchase, she was finally worth what her classmates were.
Plus, we got some great photos for once of our daughter with her new baby doll.
Rosie and Elizabeth.
My Aunt Debbie, beside Rosie, was the generous person to purchsae Elizabeth.
All four of us.
