S.H.
My question would be: would she ACTUALLY play with it???? Does she play with her other, dolls???
It is a chunk of change, these dolls.
My daughter, when younger, wanted one.
But so I discussed it with her.... so she learned deductive reasoning etc. I asked her opened ended questions about it, why she wants it, or why she likes it versus other dolls or toys, what will she do with it, does her other friends like theirs, do her other friends REALLY like it and PLAY with it all the time, etc.
So in the end.... SHE decided (via this process) that she, after all, doesn't REALLY want one, nor will she play, with it.
So, I never had to buy her one. Not that I was going to.
Because, "I" knew, she would not make use of it and it would just sit there collecting dust.
