M has a selection of dolls (provided by grandparents who seem hell bent on getting her to play with girls toys rather than cars... ). She generally seems more interested in the ones that don't do anything, and I prefer them too as it leaves them free to use their imagination more.


Generally as long as they have clothes she can take off, and some kind of pretend nappy she seems happy. We've turned off the sounds/sucking/weeing functionality on most of them!

We seem to have acquired a rediculous number of dolls with all range of skills - noises, illness, feeding. The one think I have drawn a line at is pooing - I refuse to pay rediculous prices for 'baby' nappies (I know I could do something else but I just know I won't have the patience!).


Of all the ones that do something, I do think Annabel is the best - it gives a bit of interaction but nothing too wild (never have managed to get it to cry real tears). But my youngest is equally happy with a cheap version that only does really basic noises but is much lighter to carry. My eldest will just as often branch off into little tiny dolls or ones with longer hair or.....


Whatever you get them, it's theirs and they'll love it - or they'll ignore it but that's down to them, not the doll and they'll come back to it at some point. Yes at times they'll see someone else with another one and want that one too but that'll happen whatever you buy!

Thanks everybody

Had to decide today as Argos had a 3 for 2 offer


But their bSby annabel

Is version 6 (who knew dolls had upgrades?!) which gets bad reviews


Decided feeding baby born with face that changes colour when

It gets too cold might be asking for trouble given that dd already has an

Ice fetish and is forever rooting in the freezer


Settled on a baby Chou Chou which I think has a soft body which I like

Not opened it yet too look closely

    • Male wrens build multiple nests to attract a mate, so don't worry if you see a nest built which isn't used. Doesn't mean the wren is dead, just that the jenny wren was picky. 
    • Thanks, I had googled!    There is loads of info online, but I just wondered if anyone locally had more specific knowledge. It looks like it's probably too early for it to nest, but nevertheless I don't want to drive it away, as I like having birds in my garden!

    • I've just seen a wren in my garden ❤️ I haven't seen one there for years, though of course it may have been there, just hiding. Unfortunately it seems I may  have left it too late to cut back my thug of a Holboellia. I just googled (re the wren, not the Holboellia)  but I'm still unsure. I don't want to drive the wren away if it's about to build a nest in there (or has one already). Can anyone who knows more about wrens than me advise? Also, as the Holboellia flowers have a wonderful scent later on, I probably should have cut it back after it flowered last year 🙄
