We went to a friend’s garage sale the other day and Maddie found herself a new doll. She carried it around with her, fed it, pushed it around in a stroller, wanted to go to bed with it and even wanted to eat breakfast with it. 
And a couple days later, she still loves this doll and wants to bring it everywhere with her. Even though this phase probably won’t last long, it was worth all $0.50 I spent on the doll!
