Notice the mom-appropriate swear - wonder what it's for? For those of you who see Ava frequently, you know that Ava's main lovey is Dolly. She likes to chew on Dolly's dress every night and nap while she's falling asleep. This causes what we lovingly refer to as Dolly Whiff, so Scott went online and found a duplicate as soon as we realized Dolly was her favorite.The existence of the duplicate dolly - or Doppleganger Dolly - has been a closely guarded secret. One that we've successfully kept from Ava for 14 months now. Or until now.
Before Thanksgiving, we had packed a laundry-fresh dolly so the relatives wouldn't be exposed to Dolly Whiff, but because we were rushing the old Dolly was still in the crib. While unpacking, we threw everything back in the crib, and Ava discovered the duplicates.
You should have seen the look on her face - shock and exhiliration all at once. Maybe some awe. She held them up with delight, searching my face for an explanation. One can either bemoan fate or grab the camera.
She got to watch Little People with both Dollies, and then "Dolly's friend" left after her Thanksgiving visit. We'll see if that works.....
Anyways, we'll post Thanksgiving pictures soon, but had to share this first!
