Buying toys

Sophie sitting on a wooden stool at a mall in Kunming, refusing to budge…
Sophie has a fascination for kid sized chairs/stools, any type, plastic ones, wooden ones, bamboo ones….
When we were in Matamata, we went to Warehouse(similar to K-Mart) to find a doll for her (coz mummy me forgot to pack in her doll!) and we ended up going home with a S$6 bright pink plastic chair from China that she chose and played constantly throughout the past few months and had friends over fighting over it……
… while the dolly we chose got left under the bed next to a stack of other toys.
Lesson learnt - buy what she likes, not what I like. Sooooooo hard…..
