Some of you know that I do not care for this phrase. What is that supposed to mean? Would you say to someone, 'well, he is mostly boy'? Or, 'she is slightly girlish'?
I feel as though its stating the obvious.
Regardless, I'm quite amazed at how young Alyssa has decided to take on the role of mommyhood. She is constantly wanting her baby to carry around or push in the stroller. She likes to wrap them up in a blanket and feed them bottles. Mind you, if she cared for a real child, the poor thing wouldn't last long. She is still learning that you cannot throw it down on its head, etc. She also always wants to carry my purse. She loves shoes, and has to show Daddy to have him proclaim 'how pretty!'.
Its so funny to me that some people (who obviously aren't parents) think that boys and girls are the same, just nurtured differently. Caden does not want to hear 'girly' songs (songs sung by women), or color with girl-colored crayons or play with pink toys; he is constantly smashing dinasaurs into trucks, etc. The sounds coming from their respective rooms at play time tell it all. From Caden's room I hear growls and car crashes. In Alyssa's room, she is cooing softly to a baby. So amazing how God made each of us from birth to be suited so well for certain things.
