All Girl!

I know that I am pretty girlie-- not any sort of tomboy or anything. But I am suprised at just how "girlie" both of my girls are. I love lots of different colors, including brown, red, blue. . . anything and have never pushed just pinks and purples. Their bedroom is even brown and blue. But my girls LOVE pink and purple! I also have never been a big fan of princesses (see "Happily Ever After" post) and have never really pushed that, but my girls LOVE princesses-- playing princesses, watching princesses, whatever. All of their toy animals are ALWAYS named Princess, even the boy animals. So, I have decided, looking back to my family psych classes, that whoever thinks that we 'condition' children to be male and female never had any children. My girls were born girls-- girlie girls!!! Poor Brandon! It's probably a good thing that he is not really a "tough guy", manly man. I think if we can talk the girls into at least playing soccer, he will survive. (By the way, I think this new one is practicing soccer already! Her kicking is driving me nuts! Keeping me awake at night! My insides must be black and blue!)
