Dolls vs. Trucks

Boys play with trucks and girls play with dolls...right??? Okay, that's obviously not the case...but you know! Actually...I know plenty of little boys who've enjoyed driving barbies around in their Tonka trucks (okay, the best of both), and little girls who enjoy getting just as down and dirty as the boy next door!

In our house however...it seems to be that the stereotypes are winning out. You see...having a boy first our house is pretty much filled with balls, trucks, tractors and the like! Kynlee came into the mix and I just couldn't see spending a bunch of money to get new toys when we had a house full of toys! So...cars and trucks became the available toys for Kynlee.

Well...When I first started potty training Kallen, I found a doll that was supposed to help with the whole process. Water in...water out...you know the drill. Anyways...once Kallen got the hang of the whole thing, said doll slowly made it's way into Kynlee's room, and into the toy box! No reason in particular...that's just where it landed! Well...now that Kynlee is pulling up on things, she found her way to, and inside her toybox...cue baby doll!

Kynlee spotted that doll from a mile away, and now it's her FAVORITE thing in the whole wide world. She will crawl over, under and through anything to get to her precious baby doll. She sits and rocks her, talks to her, and even gives her a pat on the back every now and again. Now she's started giving kisses to her little baby doll...It's just too cute! I guess soon it will be her turn to bury lil' miss baby doll out in the dirt just like all the other girls who like to get down and dirty, but for now we're enjoying the maternal instincts of our lil' miss!


Blessings,

Hmmm...Tori is quite the tomboy. ALL about cars and trucks. She wants nothing to do with HER toys, just Andrew's. *sigh* Go figure! She DOES, however, have her own cell phone that is her current security object. I suppose that's pretty girly. :) HA!
