Okay, I’ve had my heart set on an American Girl doll for Lauren since way before her earth entry (gosh that sounds kind of new agey)… they have this auburn haired Felicity doll with all sorts of American revolutionary stories to weave around her cute outfits. You see, grandpoppa is a serious early American history buff (mayflowerinstitute.com) AND this would fit right into all the homeschooling ideas I have for 1st and 2nd grade. But seeing as Lauren is only 15 months old, and that doll is for 7+ – I think a soft sweet cuddly doll might be in order until she’s at least 4. So I found this adorable one made over at the colorful loobylu.com – must have, must make.
