Just one of the boys...

Today we went on an all boy play date! That's a big change for you, since you usually hang out with all the little ladies. You always are more comfortable with girls it seems, and it's an amazing psychological study to watch how differently boys and girls play. Are we hardwired this way? Or do parents let boys "Be Boys" and girls "Be girls"? It's so strange!


But anyhow, the good news is, the boys you played with today were extremely polite. You get nervous around rough housing or yelling and these kids were excellent playmates! (good on ya parents! ;-) But it was interesting to watch because whenever the boys gathered around the play table you quickly walked over to me and sat on my lap. As soon as they dispersed, up you went, right over to the table until they came back again. You did this several times and it was interesting to watch your caution. Sometimes I wish you were able to be a bit more adventurous, but I'm sure Daddy will be happy to hear you backed away from the boys!

You did though kiss the boys goodbye...and I encouraged it. In ten years we'll be having a whole different conversation on this topic though!!
