Ella has been asking for the 3 foot Elsa doll for her birthday... I'm having a hard time granting this wish as the doll costs $59.99.
It isn't all about the money either... what will she do with the thing? It's obnoxious in my opinion..having a 3 foot doll geared for an age group that can't carry it around so it will sit in a corner or I as the parent will have to tote it up and down the stairs, from the playroom to the couch, to the table to watch her eat, back to the playroom. To the car, where it will need it's on car seat (I mean it is 3 feet tall!!!) Back into the house, up the steps for naps...and it goes on and on and on.
Anyone else have a daughter who has requested this doll? I'm torn as I think in my 37 year old mind it's a waste of money, there are so many other fun things we could get her, she has a zillion Elsa dolls already why do we need to add another even bigger one to the collection? But then I remember she's turning 5...to her this Elsa doll was like my 5th Cabbage Patch Kid when I was 5... it was my biggest wish, even though I had 4 others. To her it's everything.
So I'm torn. Do we spend $60 on a doll that I will be tormented by for months upon months upon months as I will have to carry it everywhere and see my sweet Ella glow in happiness as we gave her exactly what she wanted or do I find something else that is more reasonable, that won't be a thorn and torment me for months.
Opinions?

At bath time Ella asked me if I had long hair when I was her age. I told her yes, that I did have long hair.
She asked why in all my pictures is my hair short then. I told her that MoMom cut my hair short right before I started kindergarten.
She asked if MoMom was going to cut her hair before she started kindergarten. I told her that wouldn't happen as I'm her Mommy and MoMom wouldn't cut her hair unless I told her it was ok.
She then asked why MoMom tells her she has pretty long hair if she wanted mine to be short. I told her that I think it was easier for MoMom to take care of my short hair, but that she didn't have to worry about her hair getting cut short until she was ready for it to be short.
100 billion questions...prepare yourself mother I'm sure she will corner you next!
