There have been studies that have proven that up until about the age of three there really isn't a gender difference between boys and girls, just personality differences. I was just reading for my English Comp class a article on this by Natalie Algier who besides being a journalist was part of the founding crew of Discovery magazine. In one study they put 100 children around 2 years of age in gender neutral clothing and their hair done similarly and asked people to observe and guess the gender. They were only right about 50% of the time when they judged by aggression tactics. <BR/><BR/>That being said, I also have two nephews who tend to be more on the quiet and clingy side more like you would expect a girl to be and my own daughter Boom defies all gender roles and is often the ringleader in escapades that involes snakes, bugs, or knocking her brothers one when she feels they need it (soooo not ok, but she does have the aggression) <BR/><BR/>I'll step the heck off the box now. Sorry hun... didn't mean to blog jack, just thought I'd put it out there...MamaMichelsBabieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233906192952776105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352718524063385277.post-39862362725414155342008-07-30T12:06:00.000-07:002008-07-30T12:06:00.000-07:00Hey Toni - thanks for the okay on the post for On ...Hey Toni - thanks for the okay on the post for On The Flipside - I'm planning on publishing it tomorrow!

I think that my 2 are similar to yours - my daughter being the sweet, kind, caring one and my son being the loud, climbing, throwing-toys-across-the-room one. But, my son is my sweet cuddly guy. When he falls off the back of the couch for the 3rd time today, and he comes running to me with sad eyes crying, "mahm-eeeeee..." it melts my heart. Really. :)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626931508724913025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352718524063385277.post-57219278744878609262008-07-29T15:24:00.000-07:002008-07-29T15:24:00.000-07:00I thought you might say something those lines.

They are very different and I too, just love my little boy to death!<BR/><BR/>I am so glad you are going to be my first Guest Blogger at On The Flipside. I am going to copy that whole post and create a draft. I will attach a picture to the post and I will indicate that you are the writer of the post and the guest blogger and link back to your site. If this is okay, I will probably publish your story on Thursday. Let me know if you are okay with all of this.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Toni - KellanKellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882991320065439298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352718524063385277.post-74560953139987661042008-07-29T06:15:00.000-07:002008-07-29T06:15:00.000-07:00This is exactly what I would have thought it to be...This is exactly what I would have thought it to be. And it's funny you mention the MIL sentiment, because I've often thought about that too. If anything she serves as a muse as how NOT to be. <BR/><BR/>Now then, seriously, when are you sending me Claire for a week? :)MamaGeek @ Works For Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09563543041234527282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352718524063385277.post-90238952902309275912008-07-29T05:28:00.000-07:002008-07-29T05:28:00.000-07:00I am not sure what I want this new baby to be.
