I often wonder what Maren would be like if she didn't have an older brother - he is a VERY rough and tumble, dig in the dirt, always on the go little boy - though he is also extremely affectionate with hugs, kisses, and cuddles. Maren is following his lead 110%! She loves to climb and jump, plays with his trucks, and looks at her baby doll like it is an alien.<BR/><BR/>The theory that girls are better socialized would certainly help account for the staggering difference in diagnoses between boys and girls.

I was one of these weirdo MOMs that had the NO WEAPON TOYS rule for my son-- and by age 3 (and he DIDN"T see it on TV to my knowledge!) he was making guns and swords out of spoons, sticks, umbrellas, etc. Phhft! he has to unleash little boy creativity with Ninja turtles and Power Rangers and they all have weapons. I got over it.Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014364075372108257noreply@blogger.com
