Petunia is 3 1/2 years old, and while she has some toy tool sets, it is her dress up clothes and play vanity that get the most mileage. She now refuses to wear pants on a regular basis because they're not pretty. I give up.

Pumpkinpie, too, is all into trains and cars and balls and running and jumping and blocks and her hardhat-and-tool-belt combo, and her trike is red and blue, but... She got a toy stroller because she kept absconding with ones belonging to other kids at the park. She has no dolly, but will now get one for her birthday. And she's all about pink and purple. How did that happen? I'm not a girly-girl, really. But the gender divide will out, it seems. (And for the record, you are so not Frump Mom, woman!

I can relate to the girliness of my girls but what has really astounded me is my third child, my son, who was born into a land of Barbies, dolls and pink. He immediately locked into the Barbie car and vroomed it everywhere. He sleeps with toy trains (hard little plastic things!) and pulls the heads off the Barbies. His boyness, in spite of his surroundings, has been compelling to watch.Fairly Odd Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11974404093257620566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-92099194026781180662007-03-27T10:38:00.000-04:002007-03-27T10:38:00.000-04:00Can I just say "Rock on, Wonderbaby!"?

Girls will be girls and boys will be boys.<BR/><BR/>I do think it is important for us as parents to provide them with all of the options and as you say, they will settle into their own groove and we will support it! We gave the bunny a truck for Christmas in hopes to stimulate some interest in more "non girly" toys and she has hardly touched it. Rather, she walks around the house with her dolls, stroller and grocery cart. For her upcoming 2nd bday (on Friday) she will be getting a train set. Another attempt at expanding her repertoire...we'll see how that goes over!Multi-tasking Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379488091050026867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-29745231729589653332007-03-27T04:11:00.000-04:002007-03-27T04:11:00.000-04:00Nancy White can explain this phenomenon oh so much...Nancy White can explain this phenomenon oh so much better than I ever could:<BR/><BR/>http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~mariedj/browse/funny/feminist-daughters<BR/><BR/>(I hope this link works.

So there is no message here - at least about gender roles. My success at instilling in them moral values...well I pretty much suck at that part of parenting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
