Dolls

The other day Cody was trying to get to my old cabbage patch kid doll I had in a box that I had gotten out for a little girl I was babysitting a while ago. I showed him the doll and he kissed her. Then I set Cody and the doll on Cody's little couch and went in the kitchen. I looked back in to check on him and he was giving the doll a big hug and smiling his big cheesy smile. It was so cute! I know boys aren't supposed to play with dolls but I don't think it means they will turn out gay for learning affectionate behavior and how to play soft and not be destruction ALL the time. I think it's just as important for boys to learn how to be caring as it is for girls. Ok, maybe a little more for girls, but when they're this little I don't think it matters all that much what kind of toys either gender plays with. Brian saw Cody hugging the doll and while he was annoyed that I let him play with a doll, he couldn't help but smile.
