Okay, so I'm pretty sure this isn't what Aunt Sarah had in mind when she bought Madeline a Cabbage Patch doll. We've had the doll out before, but this time Caleb found the bottle and baby powder that goes with it. We must have spent half an hour changing the baby's diaper over and over. He wanted to use real wipes. It was incredibly cute. He kept telling the doll that it was a sweet baby.
"Don't cry, baby. Don't cry. Here's your bottle. Yummy, yummy."
Then he decided that the baby needed a bath. He drug out Maddie's tub and went to work. We gathered towels and wash cloths, but I had to draw the line at real water. We were in the living room, and I just wasn't up for that kind of mess at the time.
I have to say that he does very well with the baby. It was really sweet watching him copy the way I treat Madeline. Of course in the end we may need to buy another doll, but it's totally worth it. :-)

Aunt Sarah thinks this is a fabulous way to use the doll! So, I made a mistake - I should have given it to Caleb! How sweet is that!
That is adorable! I think that was a wonderful present from Aunt Sarah!
