Boy/Girl

Time flies! Greysen is a little boy already. He loves trains, trucks (BEEEEG trucks), bugs, leaves, sticks, rocks, and everything else that is so stereotypically boys. Cassie bought him fairy wings and he turned them into a butterfly. He loves his dolls and "loveys" when he goes to bed but he prefers to play with the things that go.

Greysen also loves to cuddle, smooch, give OOOOh-AAAAhs (huggs), and smile and say "hi" to everyone that comes within earshot of him. He is as sweet as can be; even gets sensitive when I tell him no in a stern voice or exhibit any sort of displeasure with him. I am NOT suggesting this is a "girl" thing by any means but this is a balance I enjoy to the toughness of his "all-boy" attitude.

I am sensitive to encouraging so many "boy" things in his life. I am not naive to think that my worry is not contributing to the very problem I perceive. But I can't help but wonder if there is something I should be doing to encourage a more balanced approach to the "boy-girl" thing. If anyone continues to read this and want to give some suggestions, please do. I'm all ears. And I'm equally open to the idea that I worry too much about nothing. Wouldn't be the first time.

Do tell ...
