The new babies at my house

The girls have just re-discovered their Baby Dolls. It's sort of funny, since they were toys they received when they were toddler-age, and now they are eight and six. Rachael has never particularly liked Baby Dolls, so this is almost a first for her.

[Side note: I just realized that a few weeks ago, with Rebecca's help, I cleaned out the doll bin, and gave away about 3 dolls she didn't care for, plus some doll clothes. So possibly, the fact that she doesn't have to root through "the junk" makes it easier to play with her favorites, and that's why they've been re-discovered. Just a thought.]

I thought it was cute at first. Rebecca's doll talks. They're feeding them bottles, taking them for walks in the doll stroller, and putting them in the high chair and bassinet.

But then I started realizing that these are rather old babies. They talk. They whine a lot. They call for food from their highchair at meal time. And they fight over things a lot.

So it kind of feels like there are two more toddlers in the house. Rather loud ones, too.

Oh well. It's still cute.
