Nurturer by Nature

The stereotype with kids is boys like trucks and girls like dolls. I don't want my kids to feel constrained by stereotypes, but, to some extent, so far they are conforming to them, at least that particular one. Joshua does like Baby Stephen and enjoys feeding him milk and also taking his clothes off and changing his diaper and putting him on the potty. But that has been a pretty recent development and he also still really enjoys things like throwing Baby Stephen and also running him over repeatedly with his riding toy bus (it's a little disturbing when I say, "Oh, ouchie for Baby Stephen" and Joshua's response is "I like Stephen Car Ouchie" and he runs him over again). Clara, on the other hands really likes carrying dolls around and does not throw anything, especially not dolls. She seems to like Baby Stephen and his sister Baby Stella the best. Here she is about to feed Baby Stephen his bottle of milk.
