Cricket

Not the best picture but Cricket and Me.

I had the popular 80's doll, Cricket! Mom and dad have reminded me that I about wore her tapes out. I would wake up listening to her stories and songs and go to sleep to her talking. Unfortunately I thought doll hair grew back like human hair and I cut most of hers off. (oops!) After having Ava and when she got to the doll stage I asked mom to find her for me. I wanted to pass down the doll to my little girl. Mom kept her in the attic and we took her down a year or so ago. Sadly, she no longer worked. Since I had most of her books and tapes we decided to go on Ebay to see if there were any for sale. Fortunately, there were a few to choose from. Mom made a bid and YAY we got it!! In the package deal we got the Cricket game, the cooking book and utensils, and some extra dress up clothes for her. When we got back from spring vacation the package was waiting on us!

Grandma adding batteries and putting in a tape.

I'm still not sure who was more excited Ava or myself. 

Listening to Cricket talk about going camping. 

Amazed that her mouth and eyes move.
