Wow, that is a lot of money for a doll.
That was what I was thinking too.
That's one reason she's not getting one. Another reason is that they're more of a collectible doll, which she will trash. Third reason is that it's not whay we feel appropriate for our maturity goals for her.
You mean because it's not age-appropriate for her and other 20 year olds don't play with dolls so it would look funny if she did?
I haven't really worried about that so far. My daughter has a doll that I bought at Hobby Lobby and stuffed, then made clothes for that she plays with a lot. I originally dressed it to be the Native American friend of Kirsten Larsen, Singing Bird, then my daughter asked for new clothes for her and I made some following the Kirsten Larsen dress patterns that I found online. Most recently, I made a dress for the doll that looks a lot like one of her denim dresses that I also made for her and she says that the doll is her daughter.
I think people might think she's younger than 15 since she still carries her doll around. Four flight attendants did ask us her age since we were seated in an exit row and the regulations state that only people 15 or older can sit there and they also have to say yes when they are asked whether they are willing to help the flight attendants in an emergency. We went over the safety card with her and also told her that if there were an emergency that she should let one of us open the emergency exit door. I think it weighs 45 pounds and has to be lifted out of the way.
