Here's Esther holding my favorite doll. I've had her since I was one year old so she's (ahem!) Also 40+. I showed her to Esther last night and let her hold the doll. She's held on to her through the night and morning. We're going on 16+ hours. Now my delima is this.....do I let her basically have this doll? I would, but she (the doll) is so old and though well loved and cared for, some of her clothes are falling apart at the folds. If I make one, will she like it as much? What to do, What to do..... :-).
