[quote=Anonymous]OP here: thank you for all the replies! i especially appreciate everyone who posted whose child picked dolls of other colors/ethnicities. I just want my brown skinned, brown eyed, brown haired daughter to love her own body and see it as beautiful and perfect. Growing up (I'm 37), I had no choice in dolls; all had pale white skin and rosy cheeks. There was some brown hair, but nothing close to the deep brown-black of my own. I would have loved to have known that my coloring was good enough to be a doll.... but obviously, from the responses to my post, I am clearly bringing my own baggage into this!

i will let DD buy whichever doll she chooses! And, at 6, she will take extremely good care of it; I have no concerns about her "ruining" it.

It is a big expense, which is why I was looking for an occasion to give it to her; I didn't want her to think we can just waltz in an buy a $100 doll... we celebrate Eid, which is in the summer, and that seemed very far away... and her birthday is in the winter, so I picked KG graduation, but she just wants it so very badly... Kids grow up so quickly these days and there is such an emphasis on getting your first electronic thing, that I am quite happy for her to immerse herself in doll playing... This will be her very first doll ever - she's never liked them before.[/quote]
