New toy that teaches girls to breast feed their doll... what do you think?

So I was watching the news and this story came on that caught my attention:
"Breastfeeding Baby Doll: Does New Toy Cross the Line?"

I think for little girls they are going to mock what they see. I just had a baby a week ago and my 3.5 year old daughter has even lifted her shirt thinking she needed to help her brother eat. So I understand the child who see's mom feeding a younger brother or sister is going to be curious so why not teach them young?? But does it cross the line? I don't think it is making our girls grow up faster. DO YOU? I mean I would hate to take away any innocence from my daughter and I grew up with out a doll that did it all: eat, pee, poop, breastfeed, etc etc. Will this doll help a girl learn how to nurture? I don't really agree with this either. I believe that God has it already in us and we don't need a toy to teach it. I do think the child will learn some of it by what they see mom or dad doing at home.

So I guess I am in the middle I don't really think it takes away any innocence and I don't really think having the doll will teach more nurturing then other dolls. I would love to hear other opinions on this doll! Please leave some comments... also I will be closely monitoring the comments so no big mean debates. PLAY FAIR

So there is a video an article to read more about this:

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
