Olivia and McIver spent last weekend with Nanoo, Pop and Cacoo. Olivia has been saving her money for an "American Girl" doll from Target. (She has no idea that there's a big price/status difference between the 'real' American Girl dolls and the Target version that she has been wanting - and I'm OK with that!) She had even taken a picture of "Sandie" with my phone and would just look at it sometimes. Last week we were just too busy to be able to get to Target but I assured Olivia that Nanoo would be happy to take her to Target in Macon.
Well, the Target in Macon didn't have Sandie. Nanoo tried to talk her into one of the other dolls, and almost did. Apparently, Olivia decided on one and carried it all the way to the register. But, she changed her mind and decided to wait and see if they could find her at Walmart. (Poor Nanoo didn't know that Sandie is from the Our Generation collection, exclusively at Target. She could have saved herself quite a headache!) When they couldn't find it at Walmart, Olivia was super disappointed. But, Nanoo assured her that they would look online and order Sandie from Target.com. So, my sweet Olivia learned to postpone the instant gratification and waited until yesterday when Sandie finally arrived at our doorstep.
You would have thought Ed McMahon just showed up with the $10 million check!
