So dd has just turned three.
She's starting to get more into mothering her toys and is beginning to feel the limitations of her long-beloved 'baby' - no clothes, nappy etc to change.
She got a dolls' pram thus as a surprise birthday present from her great-grandma and is adoring pushing the damn thing about.
Soooo
I can see that for Christmas she's going to need a 'proper' baby doll but I simply cannot face shelling out £50 for a squealing, pooing monstrosity.
However, the Corolle doll that's the size of Baby Born / Annabel etc (so will fit pram, newborn clothes etc) thus, is, although nicer-looking than Annabel and Born, still £55 and 'does' nothing at all...
I also don't know how long it'll be played with and/or how soon (if ever) it'll need to be replaced, perhaps by a more grown-up Lilydoll type.
Or is size not important and I'd be better getting somethign smaller, cheaper, with hair to brush?
Or something slightly smaller but makes noises?
I know I have till Christmas to decide but I am dithering like a ditherer and am secretly yearning to improve on my own doll experiences...
