Little One is sitting in her great-grandma's lap and having a look at her doll (which I figure is at least 80 years old or older.) My guess is she is captivated by the real-looking eyes in the doll's china face. This doll has been in the doll hospital many years ago, and later my sister, the seamstress, sewed beautiful new clothes for her. We still think of them as pristinely new, but my guess is that the garments are 30 years old at least! Little One happens to be holding one of her dollies that she likes to sleep with, and it happens to be the one her great-grandma gave her.

Passing on doll love! I love it. I made sure our boys had a doll when they were little (Cholly by Scholastic) because (and I'm still hoping here) they'd someday be fathers and needed a little tenderness instilled. Or, maybe it was just sharing my love of dolls. I have a few stashed away for.....
ReplyDeleteI love Little One's "exploration" of her great-grandmother's doll.

Little one is so wonderful! And such a sweet photo. Oh, how I wish I could hold my little grandaughter, but she lives far away. Enjoy these special times - they are precious!
