the doll

Inspired by Kiddo's present opening, we started Babs' presents early (note the jammies). This particular present was a request from me to my mom: a doll with hair.

Babs, being one, is a little weirded out by this box we're pushing on her.
In fact, she, unsurprisingly, was uninvolved in the opening.
And the present itself seemed interesting, but still boxed.
But then, as usual, the packaging proved tougher than the parents. This is when Babs lost all patience.
And now is somewhat mollified now that the doll is in her arms. She loves it.

Kiddo also got a doll for her first birthday, which was also very well packaged. In a sweet video, she is excited and anxious and helpful, hooting the whole time to express to me how much she wants me to get it out. Babs, being a second child, assumed that we weren't giving her the doll, as opposed to not being able to get it out, and thus made her cry of injustice that usually accompanies her toys being stolen from her. I like that she stands up for herself.
