Madelynn's First Doll

Still celebrating Madelynn's christening, the Williams and McBride families headed for breakfast this morning. Then the ladies, Joan W, Joan McBride, Michele, Rochelle and India, headed to the  American Girl doll store to buy Madelynns first doll.

This has been a tradition with Joan McBride whose policy is to get all her grand daughters equipped so she can sew outfits for them.

This store has a large selection of dolls of every race and age and what I like about it is that some dolls are replicas of actual well known women.

They also encourage the kids to read as each doll set comes with a book telling a story about the person , tribe or race that the doll represents.

As the kids get older they can select clothes and costumes that match so that both the kids and their dolls can dress alike.

 Madelynn is not yet appreciating her doll, but she soon will.
