Lily's Polly Dolly


I've had this Madeleine doll for a long time. I never was a "die hard" fan, but I did like Madeleine. I liked the books and I think we had a couple of movies. My mom had a doll and I had this one. I've been holding onto this doll for Lily. I figured at some point she would want to have her, at some point she'd get into Madeleine. Especially since she has two girl cousins out here (Raven and Tessa) that like Madeleine.
Lately, it had seemed that all the holding onto this thing finally paid off! Lily finally got it out of the toy box and was carrying her around. Not only that, she's been SO excited to have her!! The thing I didn't understand was that she was calling her "Polly Dolly." Where did she get that?
This had been going on for a couple of days until I asked Lily why she called her Polly Dolly.
William replied, "Mom, she's not saying Polly Dolly, it's Sally Dolly."

Sally Dolly?

Then it hit me. Our neighbors recently gave us the Toy Story DVDs when they upgraded to Blu Ray. My kids have been watching the first or the second or both on a daily basis for about two weeks now. And in Toy Story, Andy's neighbor Sid has a sister who has a Sally Dolly that looks like this:


And I thought she was excited about Madeleine.
