A Letter to Kira

Andi called to Mommy from the bedroom.

‘Mommy, there’s no signal, I can’t get one on my phone or my tablet.  I want to write to Kira!’


Mommy called back, ‘Go use the computer, Andi, the wifi is slow and isn’t reaching my devices either.  The computer should be alright.’

Andi made her way to the back room that housed Mommy and Daddy’s computers.  She climbed onto the chair and lifted the lid.  She loaded her mail and started a new email to Kira.


Dear Kira,

It’s been a while since I’ve written and I hope this email finds you well.  I am missing Australia but I really like it here.  Everyone has made me welcome and they are all so nice.  Since we last spoke, two more dolls have come to live here.  Alex and Rhapsody.  They are fitting in perfectly.


Mommy has decided that some of us dolls should have middle names.  I’m not sure if that includes me, but you should have seen Aria.  Mommy told her about the middle name thing and immediately Aria decided that she wanted her middle name to be Rose after the Golden Girls which you know she just loves.  Mommy said she wasn’t sure and she’d think about it which apparently was the wrong answer because Aria had a fit.  She stomped around and sulked and when that didn’t work she went to bed and was pretend sick for almost a week.  She moaned and whimpered whenever anyone walked by.


Mommy ignored her.  And it wasn’t until one day when Melody walked by and threw her coat on top of her that she decided she wasn’t getting anywhere.  So she got up and started acting like a normal doll again.


Shortly after that Mommy said it was ok for Aria to pick her middle name so the drama queen… ahem… I mean Aria, is now Aria Rose.  Everyone thinks it’s very pretty.  Personally I think it would have saved a lot of aggravation if Mommy had just given in in the first place. The other dolls weren’t as fussed about choosing their own names.  So Mommy picked some special names.  Melody is now Melody Elizabeth.  Melody is over the moon with that name because she knows how special it is to Mommy.  She was telling everyone and for two days insisted everyone call her MelEl.  No one did.


Sophie and Mommy had a little chat.  Mommy told her that of all the beautiful dolls, she thinks that her mommy would love Sophie the best.  She said that sometimes she can almost see her mommy sitting with Sophie on her lap, playing with her hair and giving her kisses.  Mommy said that it’s because of her mommy that we dolls are here.  So Sophie’s name is extra special.  She is now Sophie Marie, after Mommy’s mommy. Sophie was pleased and spent all day telling her doll how special she felt.


The weather has warmed up here, not like that freezing snowy day I first arrived.  It was SO COLD!  With the nice days, Sophie has been teaching Louisa how to ride a bike.  Louisa has been doing really well.  She hasn’t fallen off once and her confidence is much better.


Lousia has been so happy.  She finally found a pet!  Mommy kept telling Melody to take out the trash and Melody kept putting it off.  Mommy said, ‘it’s going to attract animals!’ and it did!  We all heard a crash from outside.  Melody, Louisa and I all raced to the back and there in the can was a little baby fox.  He had a hurt paw and was so hungry so Lousia scooped him up and brought him inside.


I checked him out, fixed his paw and we fed him.


Mommy wasn’t thrilled about having a wild animal in the house but since he was so tiny she let him stay.  We all promised to take care of him but he’s really Louisa’s.  They are together all the time now.  She named him Scooter.


Mommy asked me about having a pet, but I just can’t decide what I want.  I miss my Australian animal friends.  How’s Princess?  I miss her most of all.  Remember how I was the only one she wouldn’t try to bite?  Oh well, maybe someday I’ll have a pet.  And I know it’ll be perfect.

Mommy says you’re in quarantine and will be home soon.  I am so happy about that.  I can’t wait to see you and hear what you’ve been up to.

All for now.


Love, Andi


After Andi was finished with her letter, Mommy sat down and reread it and fixed her spelling for her. She declared that it was a great letter and Andi happily hit Send.


We hope you enjoyed our blog! We'll meet Kira real soon!

-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...
