I'd get her any doll she wanted.
My dd11 has tons of dolls, and has gone through many stages with them. When she was a toddler, all her dolls were naked, and most had magic marker drawings on them.
She then 'graduated' to not scribbling on them, and occasionally dressing them, then putting them into the many adorable bunk beds I bought (trying to relive my own childhood!)
Funny story - she got a life size barbie (I think it was barbie) when she was about 6... it basically stood in the corner of her room untouched, until about 2 years later, when she and her girlfriend and my ds(who was 5 at the time) took all the clothes off the doll, detached the limbs and head off the doll, wrote all over the 'pieces' w/ black magic marker, and buried all the parts in our outside playset pea-gravel area.
I accidentally dug up the barbie head about a year later and had a heart attack!
I think pieces of her are still out there (dd is 11 now). Who knows what else the kids have buried in that pea gravel.
I had called the other mom at the time to warn her they all may be on the road to therapy! LOL!
My dd and her friends will still occasionally play "day car center" or "babysitter" with the dolls we have left, so even at 11yo, dolls can still be enjoyed.
I don't believe in rushing them through their childhoods based solely on age..
Oh, and expensive boots!
