It got me to thinking about how different it is to have a little girl. I actually did not think there would be so much of a difference between having a boy and having a girl, but even at this early stage--I can tell there is a difference. And its not like I am trying to perpetuate stereotypes or anything...I was a tomboy as a child, I have given both my kids gender neutral toys and both gender equivalent toys (i.e. my son got an easy bake oven one year, my daughter gets cars and trucks, etc.). And yet...she definitely has a more feminine bent. It will be interesting to see how this evolves...and fun!

I love this post....I often wonder if I will "miss" a girl? I love my boys, I know that our family is done growing..but I do wonder what it would be like to have bows and dresses and barbie dolls....
I am excited to see how your two worlds (boy and girl) spin the next few years. :)
Girls and boys are definitely different.
So, was Megamind any good?
