Just purchased Julia's American Girl doll for her birthday which is in a few weeks. She's been obsessed with AG dolls since discovering the catalog at her friend Lee's house, last January. Fortunately (or unfortunately) this gave her a full 11 months to figure out exactly which doll she wanted, and to memorize the catalog...I kid you not. For several months her favorite activity was to go through the catalog along with some poor adult, and discuss the horrendously expensive clothes, dolls, toys, accessories ad nauseum. Out of sheer boredom Chris came up with the genius idea of the AG Catalog Quiz as an alternate activity, where one asks Julia: who is Kit's best friend? What color is her pajama set? What is the name of her stuffed animal pet?

Julia decided that instead of going to the store with her GPs and us to buy the doll, she'd rather go to tea in the AG tearoom, where dolls have their own doll-sized chairs, plates and cups. So I ordered her dolly online. For those of you out there in the interwebs who are wondering, she finally settled on KIT KITTREDGE! Julia__loves__Kit_.jpg
