celticdragonflyOne of the previous occupants of this house got the American Girl book and doll catalogue, and it still comes here. I will admit to a secretive pleasure in going through it, a combination of revisiting my childhood (and why didn't they have these cool books and dolls THEN? I suppose I wouldn't have had them anyway), and gleeful future plans of introducing my babies to these books when they're older, and probably one of the dolls. And accessories. Man, those are cute.
(Maggie, hon, I'll be willing to be led by which historical American Girl interests you the most, but the modern Surfer Girl one is Right Out. There's a whole bunch of reasons why we moved away from California, dear.)
Anyway, it isn't just the American Girls stuff anymore, their marketing has expanded all over. There's the Girls of Many Lands, the modern stuff, baby dolls, and a pair of twin baby dolls. The baby doll comes in all colors, the twins are only a girl/boy pair, blonde with blue eyes.
Then I realized, good gods, I have the Bitty Twins. Or at least once Jamie's hair grows out a little, I will. They're close enough to the same size.
(Whoa, thunder outside. Maggie says "Uh-oh!")
The same family got an amazing children's clothing catalog, called The Wooden Soldier or something toylike like that, with amazing matching kid outfits - so if I won the lottery, I could even dress Maggie and Jamie in cute coordinating twinlike outfits. Not terribly likely, but I admit I also read that catalog with wistful pleasure.
