All we want is for our children to be happy and healthy.A poignant and revealing biography of Dare Wright, the beautiful and enigmatic photographer and author of The Lonely Doll children’s book series, illustrated with over five hundred photographs. We both try to work together to survive each day.
In our house, my husband and I really don’t have many set roles or responsibilities.
He does preschool drop off and pick up, he makes lunches and dinners, he kisses boo-boos and has learned to style my daughter’s hair. Luckily due to the fact my husband owns his own business, he has the chance to stay home with the kids one day a week while I’m away at work. I even witnessed my youngest slam his baby off the couch and then quickly jump off to pick her up and say, “I sorry,” and kiss its head.Īlso, when playing with dolls, my boys are copying the things they see their daddy do. It’s great practice for them to be caring and nurturing. They like to feed their babies and take them for rides on their tractor. It’s fun to watch my boys engage in imaginative play together. Especially since this one doll accompanies us to the library, joins in on family dinners, and has even made a splash in the tub (sadly, baby’s torso is cloth). Over the last few weeks, I have completely embraced the idea that my boys play with dolls. When all’s said and done, they are both still dolls! The only real difference is that dolls are more realistic, and the latter is from the world of fantasy. Regardless, I quickly realized that this baby doll was no different from his Elmo or any “boy” action figure. I even tried to convince him to play with Elmo instead, but any mama of a toddler knows some battles aren’t worth fighting. I’m going to be completely honest…at first, I was a little freaked out that he was so into this doll (but it was a step up from the flat green Lego he used to carry around). Like most moms, I enjoy the calm moments. On a rare occasion, you can find them all cuddled up on the couch, reading books together, or building a city out of Duplo Legos. My three kiddos spend most days running around, screaming, and fighting over toys. I also have 23-month-old boy/girl twins who are both infatuated with Elmo. My oldest boy is 4 years old, and he is obsessed with trucks and Ninja Turtles.
