Day 50: Daddy dolls

Last week I received an excited voicemail message from our Fleet & Family Support rep that she had been able to find us a few "Daddy dolls" and had dropped them into the mail. Immediately I was asking myself the exact same question you're asking - what the hell is a Daddy doll? So, of course, I looked it up on Google and this is what I found -

Now. I am all for supporting our troops and helping my children cope but seeing this picture literally sent me into fits of hysterical laughter. Sue and I were joking that since we hadn't ordered these Daddy dolls ourselves, would they show up with the face of some other Daddy? Would that cause a lot of confusion when Dan comes home?!? Fortunately, our dolls arrived today and look like this -

Total truth, I still think they're kind of creepy. BUT - anything at all that makes M&P feel comforted is a blessing so we will now insert a funny picture of Dan and see what happens. Look for updated Daddy doll pictures soon!
