So...when Little Kid was a year old I was searching for a Christmas gift for him and heard that the Cabbage Patch Doll had an anniversary doll out. The hardest to find (and naturally selling for 10x the value on ebay) was a bald boy with a pacifier. Well, Head Honcho and I found one! And then, the decision...keep the highly sought after doll or sell? Due to lack of time, we kept the doll. It was given to Little kid. That makes 2 dolls in the house of 3 boys! Big Kid was given a special edition Olympic Cabbage Patch Doll for his first birthday. Sadly, Middle Kid has never received a Cabbage Patch Doll....hmmm maybe a holiday gift this year?
Anywho, Little Kid has rarely had interest in Terrance (we think that was his name) over the last year and a half. Occassionally the thing would be dragged out and beaten up and then put away. He always seems to be the villan or dinosaur in some diaster in Little's room. The last few weeks Little Kid has gotten a little 'soft'. He has carried the doll around here and there. Taken him with us to the store, bank, even rode to school with him.
Since the doll has been tagging along, I asked Little Kid what he was going to call the baby. In my mind I was thinking Peter Parker since he has a deep love for Spiderman and even occassionally will only answer to that himself. Nope, he has a special name in mind. Big Fella. Yup, we are carrying around a doll that we have named Big Fella. Big Fella is starting to go everywhere with us. We even had to find a change of clothes for him since his was 'dirty'.
For now, we think it is cute. If he continues to carry Big Fella past preschool years we will intervene.
