Sigh...hello, Monday!
For my Mother's Day gift, my dear husband got me exactly what I asked for - a Willow Tree figurine called Child of My Heart. It is marketed as "a piece that is influenced by the rich diversity in our culture – with multi-racial families, blended families and adoptive families" and is described as follows: "different hair and skin tones between mother and child subtly imply that they are not related by blood."
This is what the picture looks like on the Willow Tree website. Perfect for my little family.
Below is my figurine. While it is beautiful, I think someone was seriously misguided about the "diversity." Have any of you seen this figurine in a store where the baby is actually darker? I'm wondering if I should try to exchange mine.

It is beautiful... but not quite the same there is it? :/
That is what my house looks like when I don't take the day off.
I'm just catching up with you, so first, CONGRATULATIONS on your little guy! And I can't believe how you do classy you handle the crazy days. (well, ok, actually i can ;)
And CONGRATS to David for getting into more school and moving! I'm glad you have a bloggie.
Love love love the statue. I haven't seen it with a darker child or mother, but would it work to tint it with a colored pencil or light marker?
Yeah I was gonna say that's what my house looks like when I'm ON duty...
