I told Karina that she needed to clean her room because it was getting so bad you couldn't see the floor. When she cleans, she reorganizes everything. It's kind of funny, I do that too! I like to know that every bit of room is clean. Getting the time to do that is another story!
Anyway, she was going through her toys and decided she didn't need any of the baby doll stuff anymore, the baby, carrier, dishes, blankets, etc. She is twelve now and doesn't play with dolls. Well, she's been twelve ever since March 5, so I didn't understand the sudden change. When Dad got home, she told him the reason. Her fourteen year old friend, adopted from the same orphanage, might come over soon. Karina can't let her friend see her with baby dolls!

It happens too quickly, doesn't it? Especially when our children come to us 'older'!!
Our oldest (adopted at 12 1/2) never showed an interest in baby dolls but did express an interest in the 'fashion' dolls with the pretty dresses and fancy clothes--since they are more like 'collectibles' she was delighted to receive one as a gift, but it pretty much stayed in the box on the shelf. :-(
When our youngest decided she was 'too old' we stored the baby doll stuff in a large tub in the garage--she asked to see/play with it several times later on. Sigh...
