Let me introduce you to Doll. My friend J made this doll and gave it to me when I was still pregnant with Miss L so Doll has been by Miss L's side since Day 1. A few days ago Miss L decided to start caring for Doll. Doll now takes naps in Miss L's moses basket with a carefully placed blanket by Miss L to keep her warm. Of course, Miss L does not let Doll nap for long (about 30 seconds) because there is just too much playing to do. Miss L rocks Doll in her Bloom rocker. Miss L kisses Doll's head making a sweet smooching sound and squeezes Doll close for a big hug. Miss L even tries to feed Doll. You will notice the strawberry smudge on Doll's face from a recent mid-morning fruit snack. When Miss L has a sip of water she then offers the water to Doll.
The other day Miss L really outdid herself. She dragged a bag of diapers from the cupboard and pulled one out. She then laid Doll down on a blanket and placed the diaper on top of Doll. Then she took the diaper off Doll and walked over to the rubbish can, lifted the lid and threw out the diaper!
It really is amazing how much our little ones watch and understand everything we do, even before they can communicate with us. Watching Miss L tenderly care for Doll just melts my heart!
