When we jumped back into the pool to adopt our second child, I bought a baby doll for our son, Owen, so he could get used to the idea of a new baby in the house. She is wearing purple overalls. He LOVES this baby! He kisses it, wraps it in a blanket, brings it books and shares his sippy cup. He loves it when we hold "The Baby" and loves to rock her himself too. He's so full of love!<BR/><BR/>We also have kitchen and cooking stuff for our son. When my husband asked me about getting "girl" things for him, I said, "He'll grow up to be a great father who knows how to cook." What's wrong with that? I say NOTHING! I think it's great!<BR/><BR/>My brother had his own Cabbage Patch Kid when he was a kid (named Travis) and I had my share of race cars and He-Man toys growing up. It was a good balance that I'm happy to pass on to my own kids. <BR/><BR/>:-) I don't see gender-specific here. I just see good parenting and love.Margihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12554631550349055740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750188288819360388.post-52168163657249520642009-03-30T16:28:00.000-07:002009-03-30T16:28:00.000-07:00Great story, Lori.
