Real Girls

This morning, as soon as Julia woke up, she wanted to play with her barbie dolls. I got out the containers and she was happy as could be. It wasn't too long before she came to me and wanted help changing one of the dolls outfits. We got the dress off and while I was getting the new outfit ready to put on, Julia held up that barbie and said, "What?!? This barbie doesn't even have a stomach! That's ridiculous! Real girls don't look like that! Real girls have tummies." She proudly showed me her tummy at that point. Of course, I seized the moment to reinforce what she had already pointed out all on her own and to tell her, once again, that God had made her just perfect. Silly ol' Barbie......
