preprgramed or influenced
So I was once told we program our children to be masculine or feminine. Such as, we buy dolls for our girls creating them to be feminine and truck for our boy creating them to be masculine. I have always felt that was incorrect. From the beginning there was no mistaken that Brian was all boy and Jessica was all girl. Jessica had a choice what toys she wanted, because of having an older brother, to play with and she always chose dolls (well honestly stuffed animals that she used as dolls). Now I am babysitting little boys and I have some of my kids old toys and I have bought a few new stuff. But truly none of the toys favor one sex over the other with the exception of baby drowsy which has been renamed to Gracie. I find it so funny that before I bought the boys toy cars they were taking every toy and making it act like a car. And I don't have toy guns and yet one of them is right now using a toy and making gun sounds and shooting everything is his path.

I know it's so weird how kids just come that way. I went on a field trip today and had 5 boys in my group and HOLY COW all they did was tackle each other and chase each other with sticks and at first I thought man these boys are so mean but then I realized that they were all having fun and that is just what they do.
Dr. Dobson's book really speaks to that. And our Sunday School book, His Brain Her Brain, shows how boys are boys from the very beginning. Different hormones are present in different amounts in pre-born boys and girls, making them very boy and very girl. God is intricately amazing. J
Hmmmmm bet I can guess which one was shooting things!
