Salvaging a Comment to Whiskey Jack

Even though I joined LiveJournal, my comment to her recent post won't go through, even with the correct password. So here it is:

I don't know if we'll ever achieve the life size doll level. But then, the one kid in my house who can't handle full-sized costumed characters is Kabloey. He suffered emotional trauma one Spring when he was almost 2(?) and we went to the Edmonds Easter Egg Hunt. Kabloey saw the Bunny and MacGruff the Crime Dog. He squirreled up Himself in no time. Even Thursday night, he wouldn't go into the room with the Cat in the Hat and Things 1 and 2 for a picture.

The Girl wanted Barbies for her 3rd birthday. I tried to circumvent that by searching the inter for a Rosie O'Donnell doll. Regular shaped AND alternative lifestyle. Girl looked at it, then set her up in a tea party with a dinosaur and cat. Then she danced off in her light up Cinderella shoes.
