Babies for Babies

Taylee's fascination with baby dolls has reached an all new level recently. She is consumed by caring for her baby. She feeds it - cereal, crackers, yogurt - whatever Taylee is in the mood to eat (strange . . .). She styles the babies hair, or lack thereof, with bows, combs, and gel. She even tries to do "ponies" like mommy does in her hair. The problem now is that she has found a new, or should I say, old, babydoll to love and dote upon. While visiting nana's house Taylee found a babydoll from my childhood to play with. This babydoll is hideous. It has freaky eyes that are supposed to open and close, but are stuck in a creepy slit open stare. It has clothes, but Taylee likes to take them off (constantly!), so it's bright pink cloth skin highlights the gray cyanotic tone of it's plastic head. To top it off, I think it may be growing mold or something foreign on it's head. I have disinfected it, so at least it's clean mold. ;) When we tried to remove it from Taylee's care and replace it with her other babies she quickly shot us down. Why? Because she "wuvs her." Guess we're stuck with an ugly baby because our baby wuvs her.
