Secure in his masculinity

Yesterday we had another snow day (yeah!) Sarah was up at the crack of dawn yelling at everyone to get up because it had SNOWED! We were outside by 7:30 and played for a good hour. Later that day we wanted to go to the big hills (in Hershey). Earlier in the morning I noticed that David's coat wasn't really covering his gloves and his wrists were really cold. Becca was wearing another coat so I put Becca's PINK barbie coat on David. It was definitely warmer and he thought he was really cool wearing Becca's coat, but I do have to admit it was a little weird. When we were walking up the hill together a group of teenagers said, "oh what a cute little girl" haha. I didn't correct them. And when I was calling him David I kept getting glances. Why is it okay for a girl to wear blue (we all had on blue coats except David) but boys can't wear pink...

Becca's coat was blue, but it was really furry (kind of like cookie monster...thanks Melissa) anyways, she things that it is from a blue bear. Sarah quickly corrected her and said that there is no such thing as a blue bear and she said then where did the fur on my coat come from...haha.

Don't forget to answer my poll question on the side bar.

Tobin kept dirtying his jammies. Sean said, "No pink ones" until I said, "Then you can do the laundry," But seriously, it wigs me out when Tobin's wearing the girls jammies or pink sparkle shoes, or he is demaning to wear the purple dress...I just can't come to terms with it.

haha! We were at the park this October, and I forgot Ethan's jacket. I got a frilly, white, super-girly sweater from my friend and he looked oh so cute in it. The ribbon tie at the neck was the clincher. Awesome! But, he was warm...

Well we haven't had to cross this boundary yet. Although when they are two does it really matter? I mean I let my kids wear my shoes at that age-hopefully that doesn't influence them to be drag later-but I would have to say no to the barbie too.

actually you are all going to be shocked.. i don't think i would care if they wanted to wear pink.. Jacob would DIE before wearing it and Spencer would probably secretly want to wear it... but Jacob would be disgusted and then Spencer wouldn't wear it!!
