I think it's funny how men react to their boys playing with girl toys. I always played with boy toys - like GI Joe and Ninja Turtles and that was never considered "wrong", although my mom was highly upset when I stopped wearing dresses LOL

I was the same way! I'm more "girly" as an adult but I was such a tomboy growing up. Go figure I have the most girly girl DD ever!Quote:

Laurie: when my DS plays with DD's dolls, he starts out by carrying them around but usually ends up throwing them or standing on them after a while. Funny how boys are just wired differently. Bummer you fell asleep! The first episode isnt all that exciting anyway.
My two kids play with each others toys all the time! I think DH was slightly perturbed by it at first (he only had a brother), but he has relaxed about it. And my DS doesn't not play with girl toys the same way DD does either! Except for her kitchen, he loves to go in her room and play like he is cooking! The only thing DD doesn't like for him to play with is the princess microphone she got for Christmas. She claims it is a girl toy and wont let him play with it! He does try to sneak and play with it, but a microphone is kinda hard to sneak around and play with!
Oh and hopefully tomorrow I will have a gender announcement to share!
Yay for gender announcements! My ultrasound is all I am thinking about this week!
So exciting that we get to find out some more baby genders!!!!! :-)
I was a total tomboy too!! I HATED dresses. My girls are all super girly and love dresses, jewelry, purses, etc. Even to this day I am very "low maintenance." It's funny that my girls are as "girly" as they are.
Ahhhh. So exciting that we are starting to hear gender Announcements!!!
Ooooh, a gender announcement! SO fun! I sort of wish we were finding out...but nope.
I personally think that kids should play with toys of any type and that it's not right to gender label toys and say THIS kid can't play with THAT toy because of their sex. So silly. My DH has 3 older sisters, so if this is a boy I doubt he'll have a problem with him playing with DD's toys.
My new car seat arrived on Friday and today we got the angle adjuster to put it in the car properly. YAY!!! DD loves it. It's a Diono Radian RXT and it's SO trim. I'm hoping it will help us get all our family (including DSD) in our tiny car once baby comes!
Yeah for a gender announcement! It's hard to believe we are nearly at that stage. I'm actually not finding out what I'm having until birth - did the same with all of them.
As for gender specific toys - I really try hard not to buy gender specific unless its something my child has asked for for Christmas or birthday. For instance, sometimes you can get the same item in unisex and also pink. I will always choose the unisex.
Heather, that's great that you are excited about your new car seat. My friend has 2 kids and 4 Radians. She initially got two with head wings and then decided she didn't want the wings. She is selling the first two. They are only 2 years old, so they still have 6 years left until they expire. I am for sure going to buy one of them from her... maybe two? My Britax Roundabouts expire this year (or maybe even a month or two ago, I'm not sure), so I need two new seats! She is selling them for $100 each, which is a steal for these, as they sell for close to $300 normally. Right now we have our huge 15 passenger van which will accommodate any seat, but in the future (3-4 years down the line maybe) I would really like a Honda Pilot. Of course that vehicle only seats 8, so the car seats we have will have to be skinny! My oldest 2 will likely be out of carseats and boosters by then, but the younger 4 will still need something.
