A Look At Christmas Toys: The Amazing McKayla Doll


You are all familiar with my dry uterus. And, if you're not, get used to it! I'm totally Howie Mandeling here -- joking. But when it comes to holiday toys I'm Nelson Mandeling here -- being serious. I've come across an amazing baby doll that I will surely be purchasing for my beautiful triplet nieces, Madison, Britthanie, and Frizzante. The description in the "for sale" section of Toys 'r Us' online store really got me:
"Amazing McKayla is so much fun! She is a very smart doll and knows when she's embraced. McKayla has 7 distinct cries! She cries when she wants a hug, needs to be changed, wants to play, needs to be burped, is tired, is sick, or feels hungry."
Can you mother f'in believe it?! A doll that knows when she is embraced. I wish that my ex-husband Gerard had that ability. Because he was a Grade F minus embracer. And, if you've read my other blog you know that I am a strong supporter of girls in the home. Let them learn the difference between cries now. Once they identify the proper cries, they can mask their own! This is a case of babies teaching babies. Boy, I wish they had this when I was a little girl. Maybe I wouldn't feel so alone right now. Oops, my egg timer is going off. Time to take that ham out of the oven and then throw it away. Love boats!
The lesson here is: Buy your little one a product with individual crying action! Best, Meg
