The Dollhouse

I am super excited about this dollhouse. I saved and saved to give it to Ms. Crazy Preschooler for her birthday. I don't usually purchase extravagant things like this for my children, and I really worried that she wouldn't like it after all the work I went through saving up for it. There was something so wholesome about it, though, and Ms. Crazy Preschooler has such an intricate imagination that I just had a feeling it would be the right thing for her. And it turns out that she loves it! I placed it in the attic, and she goes up there for hours and plays and plays with it. I have so much fun playing with her, too. We dramatize all kinds of crazy stories that we make up as we go.

For a special treat the other day, I told her that if she allowed me to take a bunch of photographs of her, I would sew her some little blankets for the dolls. Sewing material generally makes me quesy, but we ended up having a great time. Ms. CP was so excited to pick out which scraps of material we should use she could hardly stand still. It was so fun to see her so overjoyed about something so small.

This little boy in the picture generally tends not to behave for the other dolls and spends a lot of time in TIME OUT on the balcony.
