I do understand why you choose the name you did though. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it lame it is comme ci, comme Ça~neither good or bad. You don't like it, I do so what it isn't hurting anyone we just disagree. Yes I am Canadian and I do think it is cute with all seriousness. I do understand why you choose the name you did though.

I would love to give one to my also Canadian granddaughter. There is nothing wrong with this email and think it is so sweet and would have been a wonderful time for mom and daughter to capture a little of the past because children and grandchildren grow up too fast. I have my great-grandma's doll that I will pass down to my daughter one day and if I knew where to get it repaired properly for her I would.

Sorry, Mom. I have four big-girl AG dolls and three bitty twin boys, and I love rotating their clothes with the seasons and displaying them. My husband thinks it's a 'cute' hobby. Seriously, I wish I were friends with a collector near my age so we could have a silly time dressing our dolls. They're adorable!

Although my daugther loves her dolls, specially her American Girl Doll, but for a 20 year old woman, playing with dolls is not common. Actually its very adorable and I have no bias about that, I think its just fine, as long as she don't get so serious about that. Thats actually pretty adorable, but getting pregnant isn’t that hard.

I'll be the one taking my daughter's sweet Felicity out to get fixed up when my daughter's off to school I'm sure of it. My daughter is 7 right now and has read every Felicity book available. She has now moved on to life in the 1800's with Kirstin, although Felicity is the only doll she needs. I often think about getting Felicity's friend Elizabeth so that my daughter and I can each have a friend and "tea lessons" can be shared. This is something I share with my daughter. This special time in our lives will not last forever, and if pulling out Felicity when my daughter is all grown up, to give my daughter a little reminder of that special time when she was 7 is wrong, then I'll just be wrong!

I wasn't a child that played with dolls, so I am sort of catching up; and who has the right to judge me or any other person who has them? I am part of an online club where even women who are in their 70's collect them and make clothes for them. And so what? They enjoy doing it and who gives a hoot what anyone else thinks?!

Let's be realistic and say that it is cute. I know my mom kept all my dolls and at times I thought she was crazy but quite honestly, now, as a mother, I get it....It is there way of holding on to wonderful memories. Let us appreciate having little girls who still appreciate dolls and have not yet outgrown them....In a few years, they too will be in to other things and too cool for the little girl dolls that once brought a smile to their face. Sincerely, mom who is still a kid at heart. Come on….there are worse things. Let’s be realistic and say that it is cute.

They are a wonderful part of my daughter's life and the books teach young girls about character and responsibility. I hope they continue to be an important part of her life as she gets older.

Last Christmas my sister took my (22 yr old) niece's baby Cabbage Patch doll (Baby Quimby) to a doll nurse and she she cleaned her up and sewed her up and did some repairs. (She told my sister that she could tell she'd been "well and deeply loved") I don't think my niece had even seen the doll in well over 10-15 yrs, and when she unwrapped it, she started crying! It was so sweet. Aww I think this is cute.
