His favourite TV programme at the moment is Strawberry Shortcake, which couldn't be any more pink and girly if they tied a ribbon round the TV, I am totally amused that he loves it so much.The Monkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015980234917286789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437312531314961361.post-89144626189282789072012-08-10T22:08:31.239+01:002012-08-10T22:08:31.239+01:00This came up under "you might also like"...This came up under "you might also like" and I do! I try not to perpetuate gender stereotypes, either. Bobo also has the transportation obsession, and now a superhero obsession. He did tote around my She-ra figures before he received male figures of his own. With most of our educational activities, he'll be more engaged if there is a superhero element to it. I wonder if Goblin will have the same progression...Mrs. Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805633032663726843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437312531314961361.post-59711254537924804272011-08-25T19:12:46.564+01:002011-08-25T19:12:46.564+01:00~Hi, love the blog, good work. sounds like a fanta...~Hi, love the blog, good work. sounds like a fantastic set up with sharing the week, lucky you. You HAVE to bring him to Kentwell though - he'll love it and they learn so much (and you two will have fun too you know).<br />I used to confuse people with Piers's long hair and sometimes pink too - especially when he was a small baby. He had babygros in all colours and the look on people's faces when they realised I'd put a boy in a pink one: horror! AND he had a dolly - but yes, I think all boys are 100% obsessed with cars. I'm sure gender stereotypes are 90% nurture but there's a 10% nature in there too. Just be glad he's a boy and you haven't to fight the pinkification/princessifying thing that happening to girls now; that's what sends me reeling with horror.<br /><br />love Fiona (Moll)Feehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690420320657497084noreply@blogger.com
