It's back-to-school! And with that our tradition continues celebrating at the American Girl Doll store. Lunch with our friends and all the dolls happened this past Sunday.
I hit a small bump in the road with Sam, upon entering the store. I had never dreamed that she would be expecting to purchase another Bitty Baby. We got her one last year, right before we met for lunch, and she hadn't been back in the American Girl Doll store since. So of course, she is under the impression that every time we go in there, she can pick out a new American Girl Doll. Uh-oh! This came as a surprise to me and I hadn't set her expectations before we walked in to meet our friends. It should be noted, however, that when I explained the situation to Jeff as to why our outing wasn't 100% perfect, he said he thought the same thing. Jeff also expected Sam would be getting another Bitty Baby. Who are these people I am related too!?!?! I thought quickly on my feet and explained to Sam that we would need to tell Daddy that she wants to get a new Bitty Baby. I said that Daddy would want to be with her when she picks out the next one. That sounded believable, right? When that didn't seem to make her happy, I then told her she could get a Strawberry Milkshake with her lunch. Once the milkshake arrived, talk of the new Bitty Baby quickly went by the wayside.
Oh what fun we had! We will most definitely be back next September for a return visit.
