Toys

It really bothers me that every toy I pick up for Addy seems to be electronic.  I don't know why I am bothered so much..I am a techno geek.  I am trying to buy her some non-electronic stuff for Xmas (since I'm Santa this year while her mother is a poor student).  But I have found that the non electronic stuff, believe it or not tends to be a bit pricey.  I love Melissa and Doug things and have bought her some of that.  I mostly shopped online, but did go to the Toybox today in Gville.  It's a high end fru-fru toystore.  I loved it.  There was a big case near the register that housed these.  They are on my wish list because I love Madame Alexander dolls and I love Alice.

Hey Doll

I Love, love, love Japenese ball jointed dolls.  I courted the idea of ownership all of last year.  Blythe was on the top, until I saw the Latidoll.  They are lovely, with their sad eyes.  They are sooo expressive.  Sadly I haven't gotten one yet.  The wait time seems long.  I did buy a small BJD last Christmas.  Her name is Esme and she is still naked and bald.  I did buy her a wig that I didn't like, so now she sits on my Hoosier cabinet with her black goth shoes and nothing else.  My kids say she's creepy.  I love her, but she's not a Lati.  Esme will finally get something to wear this Christmas when I can find something worthy for her on Etsy.  Plus, she needs a brother or sister soon.
