Nature vs. Nurture

I've really tried not to force my kids into gender roles. I think it's good for them to explore what they like to do. I loved to play with dump trucks and work on cars when I was a kid, and thankfully no one stopped me (of course I always had my purse and baby doll with me while I was doing those things). I'm still not prissy, but I still love purses and babies. I'm always amazed at the different ways our kids play--already. Little Buddy loves to push cars up and down the hallway. The girls like cars too, but they're always transporting their dolls to the store, to school, to the emergency room, etc. I don't know what Little Buddy would do with access to a bottle of dish soap, but I'm just guessing it wouldn't be this:

Big Sissy told me the dish soap was getting pretty tired, so she needed to fix up a little bed so it wouldn't be uncomfortable while it slept. It is inside of a bowl with a dishcloth underneath and another on top. She's such a nurturer by nature!
