gender variations

i'm guilty.

of handling my baby girl, more gently and handling her with kid gloves. my hubby pointed it out to me. i am in denial. but i think i must face the music. *sigh*

i actually am thinking of getting a wipe warmer so i don't have to assualt her with a cold wipe everytime i have to change her diaper. the boys could toughen it out. they were boys after all. rough and tumble.

i vow and promise to be rougher later, so she grows with the same fearless abandon that her brothers have. i want her to be delicate and pretty and dainty....

but at the same time, I don't want her to be a push over or to be overly sensitive

is it too early to think of these things? maybe, but plenty doctors and pediatricians and theorists who study children say that we start socializing them for traditional gender roles from birth!

i am living proof that this is true. *sigh* i still am thinking of the wipe warmers. i can't help myself.
