Crystal Doll?

Brooke used to sleep in the car, and sleep at stores when I would go shopping. All that has changed. She has been so interested in her surroundings that she is awake all of the time now - she likes to look out the car window and check out the people, lights and stuff in the stores.

Today I took my weekly trip to Target, pretty much the only place we ever go. It has a Starbucks, so I can get a coffee and we can walk around for a bit. Brooke was awake in the store just looking around. I think because there is so much to look at, she always has this wide-eyed look on her face. She isnt smiling and happy ... I think she almost looks scared (though I know she isnt). While we were walking around this woman peeped into the cart at her...
Woman:OOOOHHHH!
Me: Blank stare
Woman: She looks just like a crystal doll!

I think the probably meant to say china doll? Whatever :) I tried not to laugh and went on my merry way.

How Target Tricked Me
Last time we were at target I bought Brooke another set of sleep-and-plays. As I mentioned, she lives in these things. And at the rate she drools, pukes and poops ... I often go through several in a day. These looked really cute so I grabbed them:
So whats the problem? Well, you cannot see the second one very clearly - but it has a nice, girly pattern. I opened the package when I got home and realized that the 1st sleeper simply says "Cutie" (which is true - Brooke is a cutie) and that the 2nd sleeper says "Cutest Cowgirl". Cutest Cowgirl? Really? No wonder they hid that one behind the other one :(
