So Jude loves
watching shows that one might consider a "girly" show or he likes
reading books about Fairies and Princesses so what? The other day we were at a birthday party and
he could choose between having a pirate skull tattoo or a fairy tattoo and he
chose Tinker Bell and I was right there beside him telling him how cool it
was.
Why is it that boys
have to play with trucks and girls have to play with dolls? I understand that some people believe that
there are boy's toys and girl's toys but to this dad I could care less. I just like to see my children using their
imagination. Jude often times want to
play Fairies and say that he is one and I am down for playing Fairies because
the imagination that kid has is amazing.
Why should I tell him
No we can't do that because that is something girls do. Or why should I tell my daughter do not play
with that car here is a doll to go play with?
I want my children to be happy doing what they are doing and have fun
playing I don’t care with what. I found this
good article through EverdayFamily please give it a read www.everydayfamily.com/gender-toys-does-it-really-matter/
I for one will be
there doing my daughter's hair and dancing around with her. If she wants to do daddy's hair when she gets
older you bet I will be there. If she
wants to paint my nails I will do it! If
she wants to learn how to work on cars I will be there. I will encourage her to whatever she likes to do as well. I will play fairies with my son! I will read about Tinker Bell and the other
Fairies and Pixies! I will play Rocky
Ball with son and play football! I am committed
to just being there and being with my children and playing with them. I am proud of him and his imagination and I cannot
wait to see where it takes him!
