"When I'm a grown-up, I'm going to..."

Many a sentence begins in this manner among my children, especially lately. In their three-, five-, and ten-year-old minds, the adult world is full of freedom, opportunity and apparently tons of time for quite a number of occupations.

Bus driver, race car driver, police car driver, fire truck driver, garbage truck driver, airplane pilot, helicopter pilot, and "regular car driver" all lay ahead for my youngest son, who clearly seems focused on getting behind the wheel. When my daughter shares her future employment goals, she's a bit more well-rounded, with dancer, singer, actor, and mommy consistently sharing the top spots.

Berenguer Dolls La Newborn: Berenguer Dolls La Newborn (Toy)

We bought this baby for my little girl(age 4) when we had our second baby to help with the transition of becoming a big sister. This baby of Dolls course comes with the pink outfits & is not anatomically correct(we didn’t want it anatomically correct anyhow). My daughter was set on that fact she wanted a “boy baby”(meaning a baby wearing blue)Dolls . We found a set of all blue clothes made for this baby Berenguer on ebay(we just looked up “Berenguer clothes”).

Anyhow, I do agree that this baby does Newborn come with a strong scent(like baby powder or roses), but being that we’ve had this baby for about 6 months now, the smell is pretty much gone. I can smell it if I Dolls purposely put my face to the doll & take a good whiff. My daughter LOVES this baby! She did not like baby dolls at all until she got this one. She will not go anywhere without this Newborn baby. The clothes are VERY durable & La made to last. She took this baby to preschool with her everyday & we always washed the outfit every Berenguer Dolls week. It has held Dolls up very well-no fading or tearing.I just have to caution you–This baby looks so real that we have had a lot of people stop us thinking we put a real baby in the bottom of the shopping cart or stroller because that’s Berenguer where my little girl puts the baby when she gets tired of carrying it around. The detailing on Berenguer Dolls Newborn this baby is remarkable. It’s face is the cutest baby doll face I’ve ever seen & that smile just makes you want to laugh. The legs, hands & feet are painted with realitic tinting & wrinkled in just the right places a newborn would be wrinkly . A lot of the Berenguer dolls are really goofy-looking & so are a lot of “newborn-looking” La baby dolls, but this one is just cute!I think that was why we initially decided to get it for our daughter-I thought if she was going to like any baby doll-it would have to be one that looked cute!! We ordered an extra one to keep as a backup. A truly treasured toy at our house!!!!!...

The latest rage in dolls and doll collecting has been reborn dolls. Odd name you may think for dolls but it’s because of the process of making these dolls, that they get their name.

Reborn dolls are highly realistic looking dolls made of vinyl that begin their life as ordinary dolls which are taken apart and reassembled. This is where the name (reborn) comes from. The artists put in a lot of time and effort to ensure that the dolls look and feel as real as possible. These dolls are becoming highly sought after by collectors and amateurs alike due to the realism of the doll.

A lot of hard work and hours are put into making these reborn dolls, every minute detail is performed to create a lifelike looking doll. The result of all this hard work is when you look at a reborn doll it will many times be mistaken for a real baby. You would expect at any time for it to cry or laugh out loud. It is no wonder that these masterpieces are hardly toys for children to play with, these are a different dolls all together.
