Atlanta--American Girl Store

I've mentioned it here before...CeCe is such a little mommy.  We do so much that Bryce is into (Forts, Baseball games, etc. ) but there's not much to do for CeCe that has to do with babies.  When Aunt Blake and family sent her that gift from American Girl for her birthday and it came with the catalogue that CeCe memorized, I knew a trip to the American Girl store would be a huge hit with her.  I knew she wasn't old enough to get one of the bigger dolls but the line of bitty babies are adorable and I knew she would have so much fun picking one out. 

 

We didn't tell them where we were headed Sunday after checking out of the hotel, just that it was something all for CeCe.  She is so great to do all things boy with us and she does it with a smile on her face and she truely enjoys them, but it was awesome to be able to do something like this just for her.  Watching her walk in the store was priceless.  She didn't know where to run to first.  She settled on the babies just like I thought she would.  We spent 45 minutes walking around the store and talking about all the babies and dolls and looking at the accessories.  That place is amazing.  And a doll lovers paradise!  After walking around the store we told her she could pick out a baby.  We let her decide between the bitty twins (who look like toddlers, with hair) or a bitty baby (bald baby baby).  She thought and thought and looked and looked and finally decided on a blond hair blue eyed bitty baby. 

 

I get to take one home?

 

Proud Mama!



 

She was so happy she started dancing around while Anthony was checking out!

We lucked out and there was a table open for lunch at the bistro inside the store.  They have cute little booster seats for the dolls which CeCe thought was wonderful!

 

Big brother enjoyed lunch too.  And I think he even had fun looking and reading about all the dolls.  All the bigger dolls have books and stories about them and when they grew up so he would find all the war time dolls!

I can't wait to take her back in a few years when she can start reading the books and get into the big dolls.  I loved them when I was younger.
