In lieu of a Malibu Barbie?

"If you could, would you keep Kate this age forever?"
"I don't know. There's a part of me that loves cuddling with our sweet little baby girl, and I know that it can't last forever. But there's another part of me that can't wait to see her in her jumper, with french braid pigtails, off to the first day of school."
"So basically, you want a kindergarten Kate doll to play with."
"More or less."

Conversation with Beth, my friend and Kate's.
