Sibling Day

Today's blog is dedicated to all the siblings out there. Whether by blood, adopted, by choice or by doll, you are loved. ❤️

Melody was lying on the ramp with her eyes closed out back in the sunshine. It was a beautiful day in Colorado and she wanted to take advantage of the warm weather in case it got cold again. Sophie sat on the step next to her, talking to her doll.
Turning to look at Melody, she said, 'Melody, are we sisters?' 
Melody replied without opening her eyes. 'Yes, we are sisters.'
'Oh ok. That's nice. I'm glad,' Sophie replied. Melody sat up and moved closer to Sophie. 
'What's up, Soph?'
'Oh nothing,' said Sophie. Then she asked, 'Are we friends, too?'
Melody reached out and took the hand of her favorite doll. 'We are not only friends, Sophie, we are the best of friends.' 
The best friends got up and, holding hands, took a little stroll around the yard. 'We are all friends, Sophie. And we are all sisters.'
'That makes me so happy,' said Sophie. 'I love my sisters so much. And I'm glad we are all friends. I'm always happy when Mommy brings a new doll into our family. I like learning about her and seeing what things are going to make us friends.'
'I like that too!' Melody exclaimed. 
She turned and took Sophie's hands in her own.
'I knew as soon as Mommy opened your box that you'd be my best friend.' 
Sophie was so pleased. If her mouth moved, she would have had the biggest smile ever.
'Melody, last time Mommy took pictures, she left you on the dresser and me on the shelf. Could you ask her to put us back together? I like to talk to you when we aren't being played with.' 
'I'll do that, Sophie. I wish I'd thought to ask her before. I've missed standing next to you!'
Sophie wrapped her arms around Melody's shoulders. 
'I love you, Melody,' she exclaimed. 'My best friend forever!'
'I love you, too, Sophie! My bestie!'

When Mommy came out to bring them in, Melody spoke to her. Mommy was happy to put the girls back together on the dresser.
And here they stand. 
Best friends forever.
Happy siblings day!
-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, ass...

Grey Dawn Needs Therapy

Image
Hi my name is Gray Dawn. I'm a blueberry pie alpaca. Mommy named me after a collie from one of her favorite Albert Payson Terhune books. I have a lot of interests like playing with my friends, climbing up and down the shelves and generally being cute. But one of my interests got me into trouble one day. This is my story. I was sitting at the computer minding my own business one day when Mommy came up to me. Gray Dawn, she's said, I got my bank statement. I stood very still. I didn't want her to see that I was buying alpacas. Do you know how much money you spent on alpacas in the past couple months? Hey are you buying alpacas right now? Um. No? I quickly changed the screen to a picture that I'd been coloring. I'm just coloring I said. Gray Dawn, we have to talk she said. You spend way too much of my money on alpacas. I think you have a problem. I pushed my reading glasses up on my head and gave her a serious look. I don't have ...

A Special Storytime

Image
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...
