I wish that I could write a rewiew, but the mommy doll is for my great-grandaughter's third birthday in September. I have sort of been playing with the doll myself (just to see if she's OK). I haven't disconnected the doll from the try me cord as of yet. It does make a grinding sound when I have her talk. Is this normal because she is still connected to the try me cord? I'm certain that my great-granddaughter is going to love this doll so much, and I can't wait to give it to her. She is a very girly-girl and loves to play house with her dolls. So we'll see. Thank you so much for making such wonderful toys.
