    The hat is a fairly recent acquisition but I have no idea where the pull toy originated. Having had three daughters, there are a lot of useful items lingering around the house.

    I have 3 daughter's and 5 son's. All adults now, 14 grandchildren and yes many things get left behind that I have commandeered.

    Eight kids, wow. I just had the three girls. I sometimes wish I could have had more but I got started a little late.

    I had my children over an 18 year span, so had my youngest at 40. Much more difficult than when I was younger. I think it's different now, most of my children had their children later in life. Do your daughter's enjoy dolls like you? I have 9 grand daughter's and all except the oldest still enjoy them, she is a stuffies girl.

    I had my youngest at 40 too, but I only got started when I was into my 30s. My daughters had dolls, including American Girl dolls, but I never felt they were really into them the way I was. Maybe they just had too much. When I bought them dolls I was buying them vicariously for myself as well.

    One of my daughters has a Japanese husband and I started accumulating dolls that looked Japanese as soon as they hit the altar. Their firstborn was a son but they had a daughter a few years later. She's six now and she does like dolls, but her mother says she's very destructive when it comes to her toys so I'm holding back on giving her anything that's too nice for now. I have one more granddaughter who is only four so I'm not sure where her passions lie at this point.
