When Dax first came to our family, I remember someone telling me that boys and girls weren't really that different. She told me that boys and girls are just the same. The only reason that boys seem to like trucks and girls seem to like dolls is because we give baby boys trucks and baby girls dolls to play with.
When Arden was very little, she got a stroller for her one and only doll. She put her doll in it and pushed it around. When Dax first learned to walk, one day he made his way over to this stroller. He grabbed his frog stuffed animal and put it carefully in the stroller. He then walked around behind it and pushed it over to the couch. Huh, I thought. Maybe boys and girls are not so different.
As I was thinking this, Dax used all of his baby strength to lift the stroller, frog still inside, over his head. He then slammed it repeatedly against the couch as hard as he could. WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
Boys and girls are the same. Whatever.
As yet another example: Cora and Dax have been taking an art class together this summer (SAME!). They both love it equally (SAME!) Last week they both got to draw a Panda (SAME!) Here are the finished products:
Who can guess which one is Dax's and which one is Cora's? Hmmmmmmm....
