Alyssa got a bitty baby today. She has been saving since spring to buy an American Girl doll and decided to go with a bitty baby since it was cheaper & she decided she wanted another baby doll. I have a bit of a hard time with American Girl dolls because they are soooo expensive but I have to say, Alyssa bought this doll all by herself. She's been saving her allowance & she had 2 lemonade stands during garage sales this summer and earned over $30 - who'd a thunk? So, a bitty baby we have...
I will have to say that Alyssa & I have been reading through some of the American Girl doll book series (Kirstin, Josefina & Addy so far) and I really have enjoyed reading the books. They are historical stories about 9 year old girls set in different times & places in America. Alyssa doesn't get everything but she really enjoys having me read them and it's something the 2 of us do together.
I'm sure an American girl doll is in Alyssa's future plans - especially with the Mall of America opening a store there in November...
