I have a son. Yes, he is outnumbered 3 girls to 1 boy. My children are encouraged to play together and to develop friendships with each other. Many, many times my Boy Scouting, baseball-playing, gun-toting son is asked to play dolls by his sisters. He can't be the dad or the son without a boy doll so he often declines...until now.
The My Twinn company is well knows for its ability to create a custom doll with a striking likeness to your child. I decided to try my own hand at this. I began to check the files of the My Twinn group I belong to in search of a face that I thought resembled my son. I found such a face in the Catherine facemold. I was thrilled to find a Denver era Catherine for sale in the group. Alas, she was a very Dorothy-esque pony-tailed brunette, a la the Wizard of Oz, and not a boy. This was an easy remedy with a quick re-wigging. I now have an adorable boy Twinn with a splash of freckles and fair skin that bears an uncanny likeness to my own freckle-kissed son. I will enjoy this doll for many years to come. Now go play with your dolls!
