My sister recently gave us a LOT of barbies that she had growing and didn't want anymore. Gabi has since discovered them, and she is seldom seen around without at least one in her hand, if not one in each hand. They fascinate her and she just seems to think they are the neatest thing.
I have to admit I was NOT like that growing up. I didn't play with barbies, I collected them. I didn't play "let's pretend," I groomed my barbies and displayed them. Or better yet, I never even took them out of the box. My sister on the other hand had an imagination like you couldn't believe. Her room wasn't just a room, it was a tropical jungle, a mall, or somewhere on the other side of the world. She has always been the one with creativity and imagination.
Well, as the mother of one girl who apparently LOVES barbies, which I never loved, and ANOTHER GIRL ON THE WAY. I am now faced, or should we say forced to accept barbies and play with my daughter(s).
So, yes, we are expecting baby number two! She is due to arrive June 14th, and we are very excited. Right now Gabi doesn't really know what to think about it, and/or understand what's going on, but in time I'm sure she will love to have a little friend to play with.
