Thanks for the information! My 4 year old is my oldest, so I didnt know that a lot of little girls go through a doll age as they get a bit older too. I'll definitely be waiting on the AG doll, as I would want her to take very good care of it. She's excellent at taking care of her toys now anyways.....she doesnt let her stuffed animals get dirty/messed up at all......but I just dont think she'll play with it enough to justify spending that much. I will probably try to steer her away from any AG-type of doll, but if she's absolutely adamant that's what she'll be asking Santa about, I'll definitely look into some of these links. Thanks so much!
