Baby Sophia

Nope, I'm not a big brother yet, this is Sophia, my dolly. About two weeks ago while I was getting ready for bed, I asked my mommy and daddy if I could have a dolly.

'A dolly?' My mommy replied.

I explained to my mommy that I wanted a baby doll so I could 'practice' with diapering and holding a baby. Yes, I said diapering.

To my surprise my mommy said sure, we could go get a baby doll so that I could practice in anticipation of my baby brother or sister's arrival.

Yesterday I went with my mommy and daddy to the store, and there was an entire row of baby dolls staring at me. Big ones, small ones, ones that cry, go potty and just look cute. There were clothes, diapers, strollers, cribs, car seats, and diaper bags for each of the babies.

Finally after much looking around we decided on this baby doll that cries, giggles, uses a pacifier and bottle, blinks and sleeps with tummy and chest movements, and I have named her Sophia. She is about the size of a

preemie baby.

I really want a little brother, but surprisingly there were no baby boy dolls. All of the dolls were wearing pink or purple.

Anyway, my mommy helped me diaper her tiny bum last night, and I like to hold her. I let everyone know when she is sleeping, and tell them they need to be quiet. I try and make things better when baby Sophia cries by giving her kisses on the head.

I have also taught her how to stand on her head, poked her in the eye and picked her up by the head. Hey, at least I haven't dropped her yet, right?
