Gender roles

It must be hard growing up with three big sisters and an ever-present Mommy. I remember debating in college whether gender roles were a social construct or biologically programmed. I'd like to think it's a balance of the two.

Our little boys love balls and trucks and are unnecessarily rough at times, but they also have a softer side. They like to play kitchen and set the table for a picnic.
And sometimes their sisters dress them up like princesses. The boys love the attention their sisters lavish on them at these times.
We don't mind because it's good for a laugh and a fun picture.

It works the other way, too. My older boys have dressed up like princesses at their sister's request...ok, demand.
