We have these cabbage patch dolls, black dolls with yarn type hair. My mother in law actually brought those; and interestingly, my mother brought them white cheerleader dolls. The girls love to play with the cabbage patch dolls. Usually, when I play with them (**blush** once in a while I try to give them lessons by doll playing) the cabbage patches are always the doll heroines over all the other (white) dolls and stuffed animals. My girls loved those dolls (Sara'ley and leah'ley, they call them) and always played with them.
Recently, today actually, we had a visit from old friends of mine who are from Colorado. They are dears! A family of about eight or more girls varying in ages. It was a wonderfully crowded house with chit chat going on at fast girly pace in Hebrew mixed with English.
The only alarming thing was that they all had blond -almost white- hair and very very fair skin. Such a contrast to my girls -even greater contrast to me!! But its okay, I enjoy having them over and don't really think about color until as an afterthought and review.
After the girls had left I noticed my girls started playing with the white dolls. Hmmm... perhaps its time for another *play* of doll playing....

That is really interesting that your girls started playing with the white dolls again. Maybe the dolls reminded them of the visiting girls, on an unconscious level?
But yes, keep playing with the black dolls! I can't wait until my child is born - if we have any dolls they will definitely be brown ones. (It is not that easy to find Asian dolls, but I'll be on the lookout.)
