I know she is super cute. The story about this doll is that when I was 4 years old I went to preschool and saw this doll. This particular day a little girl brought this doll to school. It was as big as she was and, I wanted a doll just like it so bad. So, when mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas I thought back to the day that I watched that little girl hold that doll all through school. (In my day you could take toys to school in preschool). I watched her more that day than I did the teacher lol. I told my mom I wanted a doll as big as me because, that was all I could remember. I didn't know what kind of doll the little girl had. Mom found a wonderful doll for me that was quite large. I still have her actually. All my life I have had this moment stuck in my head. As an adult collector of antique and vintage dolls I have learned over the years exactly what doll it was I remembered. I have what is called a photographic memory. When my friend brought her over she was identical to that little girl's doll. Yay I finally have my childhood obsession. ROFLOL. What a great friend right? She is so cuddly and floppy. I would give anything to go back in time with her. I know I would have been over the moon to find her under the Christmas tree. My memory of certain things from childhood scares my adopted sister. For years I told her she had a bikini with hippos on it. She swore I was wrong until she cleaned out her father's garage after his death. She found a box and walaa there was a box. She opened it and inside was the hippo bikini. See I told her so!! LOL She doubts me no longer. I think the reason I remember certain things so vividly is that I am overly observant due to anxiety issues. I see things intensely and in great detail. There are some things though that I really have forgotten completely.
