The saga of the Barbies With No Boobs™ continues. I have been working with her a bit the past few weeks, trying to prep her to talk to Santa without mentioning the whole boob thing. I explained that some people aren't as comfortable talking about boobs, and that we need to respect their feelings. I did not mention that it would be slightly embarrassing to sit in our fancy mall Santa's enchanted castle and have her talk about plastic hooters. Anyway, she gets that she shouldn't mention it to dear old Saint Nick.
Today, we were watching some tv show and there was a commercial for the exact doll we are getting her for Christmas -- a doll she's never seen before, one that meets the Barbie With No Boobs™ standard. She immediately noticed its lack of a rack and started jumping up and down shrieking something I couldn't understand.
I asked her to slow down and say it calmly.
"Mama! Mama! That's it! That's the exact doll I need. And it doesn't have boobs!"
I agreed that it is just like she has wanted.
"And it won't even make Santa nervous! He won't be nervous at all!"

Have you seen the Liv dolls? I'm excited to give those as gifts this Christmas!! I think they may fit the no boob rule too.
I'll have to check those out -- we have a birthday party for a little friend next weekend. Thanks for the rec.
