Please don't tell me to get her a baby doll!

I found this in Sarah's room this morning...
Here it is from another angle...

And what is it, you might ask?

Well, let me show you...

It is a turkey that Sarah made in preschool last year.
After I left her room last night, she lovingly placed the pillow beside her bed. She gently placed the turkey on top of the pillow and delicately covered it with a Kleenex.

Who needs 37 baby dolls and doll accessories when you have a paper turkey and a tissue?

And Sarah calls this turkey a chicken. She's been calling it a chicken since she made it last year.

I guess she has a touch of poultry confusion!
Here she is in a picture I took of her yesterday afternoon.

Yes, it's mid-October and she's wearing a sundress. But it was in the high 70's here yesterday and it's going to be in the mid 80's today.

If it wasn't for the skeleton hanging in my house, I would think it was July!
Sundresses, skeletons, and turkeys...just another day!

Sarah and my Abby would get along wonderfully... I find all sorts of toys, crafts projects, etc, covered up with blankets and pillows just like baby dolls! :)

Have a great day!

Heather said...

At least she's being festive for the upcoming holidays!

Isn't this always how it goes? Gabi has a ton of dolls and stuffed animals, but it's the toilet paper tube with a drawn on face that gets all the loving attention.

Debbie said...

Isn't that too sweet. She made it and she loves it. What a doll.
And I'm with you with the heat. Enough already.

My Daughter had a rock she called Baby Alice. She took it everywhere--even the bathtub.

That is so sweet. Talk about maternal instincts.

It never ceases to amaze me as to what becomes important to a child. It's usually the simplest things! It was warm here today also. I would love to say I want it to cool down, but I don't want it to get too cold. So, I won't say it!

My girls are always covering something up with a little blanky. The other day they put the Remote "to bed". Girls and their imaginations :)

Kinda how they love the boxes that gifts come in - sometimes more than the gift itself!

Gotta love creativity!! :) My son for awhile carried around cloth napkins like they were his best friends. Go figure. (and he's only 16 months old!)

He & Me + 3 said...

That is precious. She is going to be such a great little mom. Chicken? That is priceless!

Sun dresses in October??? Not fair. I didn't even get to do that in July.

Oh bless her little chicken. Seriously these kids don't need all the toys we buy do they?

That is so sweet that she put her turkey chicken down for a nap. And you have no idea how badly I want your weather!!! *sigh* enjoy!!!!
