Now you find out that she is actually a he and it takes a little while to adjust. I will say that doing biracial boys hair is much easier! Which is actually a bigger deal then you might think:)Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436636731066211849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190144653162636685.post-24267758629068454252011-07-28T21:04:45.669-05:002011-07-28T21:04:45.669-05:00Our second false start was a girl and we were so e...Our second false start was a girl and we were so excited. Then we found out about our little boy and he is amazing.

I think your disappointment probably has more to do with expectations, and possibly if you thought first the baby was a boy and then found out it was a girl, you'd feel the same. I think it's that you start imagining a child that's "yours" and then you find out it's not. I'm probably not explaining it well.<br /><br />I was also FIRMLY in the gender neutral camp until I had my twins, and then I started getting annoyed that everyone thought my daughter was a boy. I think only one person ever assumed my son was a girl. My daughter still doesn't have much hair at one year, and if I dress her in blue (even if it has ruffles and bows and ribbons), I get comments about my adorable boys. So I have bowed to the gender stereotyping pressure quite a bit.sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190144653162636685.post-3905934783007534222011-07-28T16:21:48.965-05:002011-07-28T16:21:48.965-05:00Let me just tell you (and of course I am biased a ...Let me just tell you (and of course I am biased a little) Little boys are the BEST. I have my son. My sister has 2 biracial children--of the 2, her son is absolutely the BEST kid ever! They may not get to wear the sweet, big flower bows, but now a days, Car.ters, Osh.Kosh, Gym.boree, Cra.zy 8 is making some fabulous boys outfits! From experience, Car.ter's newborn & crawler's outfits hold up the very best-hands down! Also, when it's time for this,their underwear for boys holds up great too! I love my boy and I'd have 4 more just like him if I could!

Now you just need to picture yourself with a son!Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16275332224849930573noreply@blogger.com
