Baby girl

When I was 6, my favorite toy was a Cabbage Patch Kid.

 


Her name was Kerry Elisabet and she had chocolate brown eyes and round cheeks.

 


Her yarn hair was permanently styled in pigtails.

 


I dressed her and pretended she was real.

 


While I cradled her and spooned pretend baby food into her mouth, I would think:

When I grow up, this is the kind of baby I will have.

  3. Oh, my, GamizOne! I'm frightened by the very thought... The only one I had was Richie Retch and that alone gives me parenting nightmares.

    Thanks for always leaving kind words, N. Miss you!
