American Girl Place




Here are Kit and Z at the grand opening of The American Girl Place in Los Angeles.

Z's grandmere Meme bought her a Kit doll this year. Meme and Papa have also supplies Z with a homemade, and just-the-right size for an American Girl, bed with lots of homemade bedding, a "closet" for her clothes and shoes and a homemade nightgown and three dresses (made out of some vintage materials). She also has all the Kit books. Z has a lot of great American Girl stuff!

Today I told her I would buy her some accessories at the store. After looking at the books, and all the clothes and accessories of the other American Girl dolls Z was trying to decide between Kit's hat and necklace and an American Girl activity book. She ended up choosing the activity book but I am thinking that next time we go back I will buy her those accessories. :)

Other than shopping the AGP has a doll hair styling salon, a cafe with chairs for the dolls and a theatre with live musicals based on the AG books. Also each AG doll has a "nook" with a historically accurate vingette and mini "story" about a summer event. Inside each nook they have the multiples of the doll dressed in all her outfits and using all her accessories. That was great! Z's Pere liked Kit's little waffle-iron. :)

I think I like Samantha best, or Addy . And Molly's kind of cute too. *hee hee*

American Girl also has a "modern" doll series called "Just Like You" but Z looks most like Kit anyway.

Also the newest American Girl Jess is homeschooled!
