DD8 is really into dolls too. Barbie, American Girls, Moxie Girls, Polly Pockets, Littlest Petshop, BFC Inc, Dolly & Me...etc! She finds other girls at her gifted school that also like to play that way and they have playdates where they just get lost in their make believe world. I wasn't that kind of kid so I don't get it. I don't think she will be giving up her dolls any time in the near future!

i think the kids and I have been playing along with each other on the santa thing for YEARS. None of us wants to pull back the curtain and expose OZ for what he is... I never felt comfy fabricating a huge deception though.
