Belli is a girl of many talents and is incapable of just doing one thing at a time, so when I see other kids submerged their faces and brains in their "apps" I don't mind her wanting to run around outside and bounce on her new pogo stick, or make a mess with her thousands of barbies and the humongous house that take almost half her room space! But lately she has been obsessed with her dolls, and has discovered American girl, mostly because of all the hype of the store opening so close to us. She got her 1st AG bitty baby when she turned 4, and she named her Patty, she even cried when Patty went up in the attic for storage due to an overcrowding of toys in her room, then Patty went into storage during our recent move, she also needs to go to the doll hospital for unrelated issues, so Patty has had quite a bit mishaps . That said, when she wanted to get a "real" doll instead of a bitty baby, I went to Target, Belli had no idea, I bought her the doll, the horse, and she was happy...but what happened to that doll? she suffered the same faith as Patty, then another doll, and same thing. Until much begging and hinting what she wanted, on her 9th birthday I surprised her with a AG doll and birthday brunch.

same girl, just with a hair cut!!!
Well, it didn't stop there, she asked her dad to make her some furniture "real" furniture for her dolls, since He was so busy renovating the house I had to step in and get creative
I used this old bench we have had for years and made the bedding from old sheets, and the matress foam from a different project, no cash spent here just time.
