our 12 month old DD has become *obsessed* with our 32 month old's favorite doll (her first doll-- named "coco", which she's had since she was 12 months old). this is the doll that DD1 needs to go to bed with each night, the doll she needs for comfort when she's stressed. but now DD2 is totally obsessed with coco. she smiles a mile-wide smile when she sees coco. she will play with it, hug it, try to stuff it in her mouth, lol, for 1/2 hour at a time. and if you try to take her away from coco, or worse-- if DD2 catches her with coco, all hell brakes loose. DD2 will kick, buck, scream, you name it... until she gets coco back. understandably, it's DD1's doll, and DD1's the victim when DD2 takes it. we feel we have to be sympathetic towards DD1 and we can't expect her to want to share the one thing that is so much a part of her at this time. we've tried giving DD2 her own doll(s), but she just casts them aside... she wants coco and nothing else. what else can we do? i'm sure many of you have BTDT... so i'm eager to hear what your solutions were!
