I had 2 growing up that my grandma made for me, and I'm thinking that I really want to get one for LO. We were at Costco yesterday and they had super cute Cabbage Patch Kids for $20. I'm thinking this will be her birthday or Christmas present from us to her, even though she's a little young for it. She got so excited when I showed her one yesterday, clapping and laughing.
Did you have a CPK? Does your LO?

My uncle gave me one for my first Christmas. My mom gave C one for hers.
I have 3-4 old classic ones still.

@loveisstrange: I still have my old one but don't think that I want LO playing with it. I think I'd rather she had one of her own and when she's older she could have mine (when it's less likely to get battered). Part of me is even inclined to see if I could make her one.

I had enough "students" to be their teacher. I had a boy with brown hair, a red head with ponytails, a blonde, and a couple of babies. I loved the signature on their butts!

I never had a CBK. I was scared of them because I heard a lot of scary stories about them. -.- lame!
DD doesn't have any dolls yet. Don't plan on getting her one unless she asks for one!

I had 2 - two little boys and I loved them! I even made them insurance cards so that I could take them to the doctor.

Never had one as much as I wanted one. If K wants one, she'll get it.

I had a red haired one named Elaine Pam! I wanted a dark haired one that looked like me but my mom said the red haired one was on sale.

@banana: Awwwww! My little boys were Amery Olin (preemie with a sprout of hair) and Barnabus Rafael (baldie with a tooth)!

@MsLipGloss: Yours had cool names! Barnabus? Come on! How much cooler can you get?? 
Did you have the cornsilk ones? I wanted a cornsilk but I ended up getting one with yarn hair. I tried brushing her hair once and all of the yarn unraveled and she had frizzy hair. I was so embarrased that I told my friends that I lost her. I didn't want my friends to make fun of me.
ETA: Never mind, just read your post that your had very little hair. I'm still traumatized by my yarn hair incident. I totally remember bawling about it.

I had several as a child and loved them! I just bought LO one, Annie Coco, as I want her to have her own baby before LO #2 arrives! So far, she's not super interested in it...

I loved mine but she wasn't in shape for LO to play with her. So she got her own!!

@MsLipGloss: Oooooooh. I love juicy legal stuff. haha. I hope somebody sued them for making yarn haired CPK dolls. =\ Does it have anything to do with the names that they used for the dolls? 
I'm sure Mr. Barnbaus Rafael wasn't too thrilled about having a baldie CPK doll named after him.

Yup, we actually got her one from Costco the other day. She likes to push "her baby" around in a stroller and feed it

@MsLipGloss: It's really cool that you worked for them.
@T.H.O.U.: Mine is still in decent shape, but I want her to stay that way, so LO gets her own.
Is it crazy that I wanted to go through all of them and find one with a birthday close to LOs? DH totally didn't get the idea of adopting them and how they have names and birthdays.

I had all of my mom's 70s cabbage patch dolls. They were awesome. I need to check out my Costco to see if they have them there. I'd love to get one for LO.

Bahahaha, I always wanted a Koosa!!
I have two CP kids still - a silky haired red head and a yard haired red head. Why I had two redheads, I have no idea. There is no red hair in our family....

They always had the best names. One I had was named Trixie Arlene! Lol

I had one that I didn't like too much. She had long red hair that "grew" when you yanked on it.
