Also, I had a baby doll that was african american when I was about 5 years old. We would go to see my grandparents in Georgia and pass through lots of little towns where I would see Black children playing. I asked Santa for a little baby like the ones I saw there. I really loved that doll.<BR/>Mama BearLove Bears All Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04091529156071883508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37303412.post-83340215196301023252008-07-11T15:48:00.000-04:002008-07-11T15:48:00.000-04:00I'm glad to know that you have your grandmother's ...I'm glad to know that you have your grandmother's beautiful doll and that she shared the story with you.
