The Arrival of Sonata

The tracking number for our new sister said delivery for Monday, imagine our surprise when it said out for delivery the Friday before! Mommy burst into the bedroom.
'She's coming today, girls!' she cried. We were excited. For the next couple hours we all sat around and talked about what she'd be like. I wondered about her green eyes. Sophie wondered if she would like our mountains even though she was an ocean girl. Melody hoped she'd like the same music.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, the carrier brought this box. We hoped she was ok in there. Mommy had a strange look on her face.

Mommy brought us all to the floor and put the box down. We weren't sure what to do so we just stood and watched. 

Max the Pom, who helps take care of us inspected the box. He's quality control and checks every box, bag or piece of mail that comes into the house. After a couple minutes he licked Mommy's hand to say everything was OK.

Mommy opened the box. There she was. She watched us with wide eyes. 
'Go ahead, honey,' Mommy said, patting her back. 'Go say hello.' She gave us a shy wave. 

She approached hesitantly. Shyly, Sonata and Sophie shook hands.

Then she shook hands with Melody. 

Hanging on to Max for support, she made her way over to me. I watched quietly. 

Our eyes met. I reached out to take her hand. 
'Bring it in, girl!' I cried and grabbed her. I gave her her very first pony girl hug.

Then Mommy took a picture of us together for the first time. 
Welcome to the family, Sonata! 

Love Aria ❤️

Louisa Runs Away

Image
 Louisa snapped her book shut.  She was reading a riviting story.  In the story, the little girl ran away.  She even took a train!  She found it to be an interesting idea.  Maybe she should run away, too! She turned to tell Clarence her great idea.  But he seemed to be asleep in his chair.  He always fell asleep when she read aloud to him.  She patted him on his fluffy head.  He quietly mooed in his sleep.  Louisa wondered if he was dreaming about grazing in lush green grass. Time to get ready! She hopped up and grabbed a backpack off the dresser.  Which was no easy feat because she had to climb the dresser first.  That's one thing that was true about all the dolls in this family.  They were all good climbers. After she got the backpack, she put her curly hair back in a ponytail.  She didn't want her hair in her face while she was running away.  She picked up Scooter, assuming he would want to come along and made her way out the bedroom door

A Special Storytime

Mommy had received some great mail this week. The one thing was something they'd been waiting a long time for. It was the second book from The Doll's Storybook. All the dolls followed the blog. They were all big fans and were really excited about the new book. This one was about Emil and his brother. Since the girls didn't have a brother, they were very interested to see how different the boys were from themselves. It being Saturday, the dolls knew it was story time. Whenever they gathered for story time, they would pick a girl to read. Today it was Aria's turn again. The second piece of mail, Mommy kept to herself. It was a suprise. The girls all lined up to chose their story time Affirmation Pal. Andi and Lily were in the front of the line, so they chose first. Andi chose Buttercup the Yak. Lily chose Rainbow Sprite. They carried them up Max's ramp to the bed. Rainbow Sprite was bigger than Lily. She co

The New Room

Image
Daddy had finished the bedroom.  There was new paint on the ceiling and walls, a new floor, and he was building new furniture.  Mommy was over the moon.  This beachside type room is the room she'd been dreaming about since she was a little girl.  Finally her dream was coming true, thanks to Daddy. The time came to show the girls.  She brought everyone in.  Everyone had been living on the couch in a pile.  One by one, Mommy lifted them, gave them a hug and a kiss, brushed their hair and steered them toward the bedroom. Each doll had a different response. Aria, who was barefoot, walked along the new floor, feeling the grain of the wood under her toes.  She was happy the carpet was gone.  She felt that with this floor maybe she wouldn't fall over so much. Sophie liked the changes to the room.  She walked around and quickly discovered the new bed Mommy had bought for TJ, the little Pom.  She bounced on it, checking it's cushiness.  Grabbing Mommy's K
