Pictures: 2003

Destiny has a doll she received for her first Christmas (Christmas '98). This has become her much beloved "Baby". Baby goes everywhere Destiny goes and sleeps with her every night. Baby shows all the love she has received over the last 5 years (she's a bit worse for the wear). See Baby:

Baby is actually a 1997 edition Precious Moments "My Best Friend" doll. The 'my best friend' name has certainly been appropriate, as she is Destiny's best friend....

In early 2003, I found another doll (new, still in the box) just like Baby for sale on the Internet. I couldn't resist. So now Baby has a twin:

Here's Destiny with both of her Babies:

Having a tea party with Baby:

What happens to toys who are loved as much as Baby?

"It doesn't happen all at once." said the Skin Horse. "You become.
It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people
who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully
kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has
been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the
joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all,
because once you are Real you can't be ugly,
except to people who don't understand."

I understand that Baby is very beautiful :-)
