She arrived!

As many of you recall, one of the items on Lauren's Wish List to Santa was a doll that "peeps and poops" as she calls it. Well...Santa delivered and Lauren was thrilled when she opened her doll on Christmas morning.


The day after Christmas, Lauren fed her doll for the first time. She was very careful to get the food in the mouth and give her baby water after each spoonful.


After the feeding, the baby's diaper became full and I had the honor of changing the baby's first "poopey" diaper. Much to Lauren's disappointment, the "poop" was a yellow liquid (the "food" was pears). Kate asked where the poop was since the yellow must be the "pee." I explained that the "pee" would be clear and that the yellow was supposed to be the "poop" from the pear food. Throughout the conversation, Lauren continued to ask how to make the doll "poop." Obviously they weren't prepared for the fact that a baby doll's bowel movements are a little different than their own.
