my 6 yr old has been asking for a american girl for 2 xmases not including this one coming up. she has shown me every time near xmas the knock offs at target and walmart. so tonite when making a tru purchase using my paypal. i bought a tru version of the american doll. she also wants the pony. but i am like hmmm are these worth it? what do u all think. ps she was never into baby dolls. and ocassionally plays with barbies. but 3 yrs of asking makes me say hmmm should do i.
