We had Ainsleigh's party Saturday night (just family) and she opened her Bitty Baby and I've got to say that just the last 36 hours have been TOTALLY worth it. She ADORES her Bitty. She also got a high chair and Bitty eats when Ainsleigh eats (and several other times throughout the day). Bitty came on a walk with us, and she watches Sesame Street with Ainsleigh. The box she came in is the perfect bed lined with one of Ainsleigh's smaller blankets. I bought just the doll - not the big set - and then hired a good friend (actually a member of these boards!!) to make some outfits. She totally outdid herself and when DH saw me trying the outfits on said, "Are these things for Ainsleigh or you?" LOL. Anyway, thank you, all, for your help. I began to worry that she wouldn't care about a bigger doll, but from the moment she opened it, they have been nearly inseparable.
Oh, and the cutest thing was that when she puts Bitty down for a nap, she rocks her and sings, "Sunshine... sunshine...away." I have sung her "You are My Sunshine" every time I put her to bed since she was born. As she rocked Bitty and sang her version of it (I hadn't heard her sing it before), my heart totally melted. I LOVE GIRLS!! :)
