So apparently Mr. Duckie has been replaced by the Dora doll that The Daddy bought for Tater Tot a couple of months back. No longer can this Mommy depend on the soothing charms of Mr. Duckie to calm the Tater Tot. Dora usually is the one that she reaches for now, which is fine by me. But Mr. Duckie isn’t completely out of the loop. At bed time I still don’t know which one she is going to want so I stick both of them in there just to hedge my bets. Momma doesn’t mess with bed time and sleeping through the night!

When I first saw the Dora doll, I was kind of frightened. She’s got this mass of yarn hair that’s quite large and a Beanie Baby butt. And of course Dora’s head has always been twice as large as is normal so there’s that. But by and large, I’d rather have her hangin’ on to a Dora doll than Barney or The Bratz dolls. Have you seen these things? Good God! There are certain isles of the toy store that Tater Tot will never see….
