I think the most expensive toy that we’d bought for the girls is this doll house we got them for Christmas 2 years ago.

What we did was we got the house (which came without furniture) and the dolls, and then informed my sisters and SILs to get them furniture as their Christmas and birthday gifts, so by the end of all these celebrations, they have a complete doll house set.

The thing is, Zaria was too young then, she was more interested in ‘breaking’ the items than playing. And Zara didn’t show much interest either, so off the house went, into the store room.

The girls have recently requested that we brought out the doll house. So we did today. Opening 3 more sets of furniture which were given 2 years ago.

They had some fun playing with it in this morning.

The house is the height of Zara, it’s sturdy and very good quality. It’s rather heavy too. So after playing, they will have to push it back to lean against the wall or it’ll take up too much space in the centre of the room.

Any way, not sure how long their interest with the house will last, but I do hope we don’t have to push it back to the store room any sooner, and wasted the 3 new sets of furniture.
