My Thoughts
Seriously, my girls were thrilled when I got this in the mail! My oldest knew who it was (thanks to Radio Disney and So Random)! My other girls were just interested in him as a boy doll. My one-year-old was crying and stopped immediately when I let her hold the doll. Pretty cool! I was sad that I didn’t get it on video! The girls were working hard on chores to earn the doll. My seven-year-old was excited about the guitar pick too, because she has been begging for one for her guitar! So, all-in-all a great doll and accessories!
