Do you love American Girl Doll? We’re sharing the 2017 Girl of the Year: Gabriela!
You guys, Lydia is OBSESSED with babies. A few of my friends have infants, and all she wants to do is stare at them, and take care of them. She a doll stroller, and lately she’s been putting her dolls into it and asking to take them for a walk. These walks are complete with her stopping to rock the baby and saying “It’s ok, your mommy will be back soon.” I’m guessing she’s seeing them take care of babies at her school? I wanted to share her latest favorite “baby”. This “baby” has been accompanying us everywhere since she arrived on our doorstep.
As y’all know, we LOVE American Girl Doll. Each year, they release a limited edition Girl of the Year. We are teaming up with American Girl to share Gabriela (Lydia’s new baby), the 2017 Girl of the Year AND to give one away to one of you.
American Girl Doll of the Year:
Gabriela might be our favorite American Girl Doll yet. Each doll has their own unique story, and Gabriela’s is amazing. Gabriela is a performer….a poet and a dancer who performs despite having a verbal stutter. As a teacher who sees many children with speech impediments, I love that Gabriela will be a strong role model for them! Gabriela’s story comes in a set of three books by Scholastic and American Girl Doll has a TON of fun accessories for her (even a dance barre)!
