So my Granny collected dolls. Porcelain dolls, collector barbie dolls, she even had special Prince Charles and Princess Diana dolls. She loved these dolls. On a scary note, she also like to collect clown dolls. Yikes! Anyway, when she passed away we got to pick out what we would like. I ended up with some of her collector barbie dolls. I have kept them in their boxes and packed them away. Seriously, I love you Granny but I'm not gonna display these! So this Christmas I got them out and decided to go through my stuff to see what needed to be tossed. I looked at these three dolls and made a split decision. I opened them! Seriously, I think my Granny rolled over in her grave. Now, I am sure they are worth something, people pay lots of money for all sorts of weird things, but I tell you I would never sell them. But, having them packed away forever is just dumb, so I decided to get them our for Gillian. She's almost 4 and so she should be getting into that sort of thing soon anyway. So I get them out and she says they are beautiful and she loves them. I put them on her bed and don't think anything about it. So, Jake goes to put her to bed that night and they are sitting on her bed and she says, "Dad, can you get Barbie's dolls of my bed, I'm trying to sleep." Seriously, my Granny rolled over again from the lack of respect she showed those dolls. Oh well, I am sure she will forgive me sometime!

When I was four, I gave all my Barbies a hair cut and added some make up with a sharpie pen. Let's hope Gillian does not do the same.
