You may remember Cindy from yesterday's blog post, of longest-time-out-on-record fame. Cindy is a life-sized (well, Zoey-life-sized) Raggedy Ann doll that my grandmother made for me for Christmas when I was 13. In fact, she made six of them--one for me and each of my sisters. At the time, I remember being impressed with the sheer amount of time it must have taken someone to handcraft SIX nearly-four-feet-tall dolls by Christmas, but other than that, Raggedy Ann pretty much just resided on a shelf in my bedroom. Her life took a turn for the better after being retrieved from a box in my mom's storage unit this weekend, delivered to my house, and left in the arms of my ecstatic daughter.
Because Cindy? Is the same size as Zoey. Which means she can wear all of Zoey's clothes. Zoey can give her piggy back rides. Change her diaper. Tuck her in next to her at night. Try to convince her to wear big girl panties to bed instead of diapers. Put her in time out.
A match made in heaven.

That will probably help her with potty training! I saw on...er...a show...(Dr. Phil, sigh) that parents who get their kids to teach DOLLS how to use the toilet while trying to teach them potty train with more enthusiasm. You'll have to let me know how that goes :) And even without the potty training, cute doll. I would have loved to dress a doll up in my own clothes when I was little! Instead, I often dressed them in my mom's "small pretty clothes." Which meant I went through her drawers and found her lingerie. And then took my dolls to church in it. Haha.
So cute!!
Grandma she can out sew any of us..I remember all her piles of fabric and patterns and spending hours looking through all of them with your mom. Oh those were wonderful days
