New Bébé

Abbie has a couple of babies (pronouned like the French bébé) but she recently fell in love with the nanny's child's baby doll. Jasmine very sweetly let Abbie take the baby home for the weekend. After sleeping with her every night and bringing her everywhere, we began to dread Tuesday evening when Abbie would be expected to leave the baby with its rightful owner, errr...uh...mommy. So Monday Mommy and Abbie made a trip to Toys R Us. Ugh, what a horrible place. So many garish colors, so many squealing children. From here on out, any and all toys we need will be purchased online.

Anyway, we wandered to the doll aisles and tried to find one similar to Maiya's. We could not find the exact one, but we did find a blue-eyed doll that Abbie immediately identified as "baby." There is not direct path to the registers in Toyr R US, so we had to wander through the store a bit before we could make our purchase and leave. Mommy was unmoved when Abbie pointed to a baby carrier and a baby stroller and said, "baby." "Yes" Mommy agreed "those are for a baby." But Mommy did not buy them for Abbie. Mommy has a heart of stone.

At home Mommy and Abbie looked at Maiya's baby and Abbie's baby and talked about how they could be friends and could play together at Murrow's house, but Maiya's baby belongs to Maiya and she'll have to go back tomorrow. Then Mommy and Abbie took Abbie's baby into the living room and introduced her to the slide.
