About a year ago, while running errands in Cleveland, I made the quick decision to take Violet for her first trip to Babyland General Hospital. She was less than impressed and even looked at me at one point and said, "Mom, this is pretty cweepy". I thought she'd never be interested again, and I was so sad because, as a little girl, I loved Babyland, even though my parents never let me adopt a baby.
So, I was thrilled when Violet, out of the blue, told me that she wanted to go back to Babyland, and that she wanted to invite her friend Natalee to go along. A few days later, we met up with Nat and her Nana and drove to Babyland.
This visit was so much better than the last one! The girls loved it, and I really enjoyed watching Violet take everything in. Babyland is a pretty magical place, even if the new facility isn't as whimsical as the old one.
Here are some pictures from our visit, all unedited and straight from my iPhone.
And, for the really big news, the girls each adopted a baby. We let them choose a baby from the $14.99 shelf. Ha! Those babies can get expensive and I'm glad we were able to keep it cheap.
Here are the girls with Faith Saige and Kimber Kay. Those names!
And here they are, promising to love and care for Faith Saige and Kimber Kay for as long as they lived.
Funny thing, Violet couldn't remember the name "Faith" and kept calling her baby "Feef". Ha ha!
And here's the obligatory cabbage picture.
It was a fun day, and Violet already wants to go back again next year. I suppose she'll want to adopt another baby, too. Maybe I'll let her choose a $25 dollar baby next time.
