Autumn has rediscovered my favorite doll from childhood, Joy. Only she's adament that her name is Joya, a small but significant change which is allowing the doll a second life. And since her first life involved three different wigs, a second one is no small thing (she started out with brown ringlets, then had gray ones...kinda weird for a baby doll if you ask me, and finally ending up with this short brown cut).
The horse with the freaky-looking eyes, by the way, was a present from her older bro Micah. He's been saving up his hard-earned money and when I took him to the store yesterday, he decided to use it to buy Hot Wheels cars for himself & Jonah, and this horse for his sister. So it's a little weird-looking, but is packing a whole lotta love. And it hasn't left her side since we came home from the store. (This could have been a peace offering for dumping her on her head while "pushing her stroller" the other day. If you look at her forehead, you'll see the mark. Woops!)
