I feel so lucky that we are raising a different generation of kids, sounds like your boys will be perfect for my girls someday! <BR/><BR/>I commend you for taking on the hard talks at their age, our kids deserve honesty. As for where my daughter really came out of me, I am not so ready to move beyond my "special place" just quite yet.EatPlayLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01768078593549284605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091965591527056142.post-13418290351030153832009-02-23T13:25:00.000-05:002009-02-23T13:25:00.000-05:00Great article.

My 3 year old says he is his "best friend". My 5 year old loves Jayvon but often wonders why his skin is "tan". <BR/><BR/>I wish they would not see any difference in someones skin color just judge the person for who they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091965591527056142.post-30579069032191790232009-02-23T11:25:00.000-05:002009-02-23T11:25:00.000-05:00Good post (again), Ilina.When my middle son was yo...Good post (again), Ilina.<BR/><BR/>When my middle son was young, his favorite color was pink, and he was so adamant about it that he refused to wear anything other than his favorite plain pink tee shirt. We ended up buying him 7 pink tee shirts so that he could make it through his week without a tantrum!Lisa Creech Bledsoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987000165835179612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091965591527056142.post-12923768207981859512009-02-22T19:10:00.000-05:002009-02-22T19:10:00.000-05:00And I, as the mother of a girl, hope to raise her ...And I, as the mother of a girl, hope to raise her in a manner that debunks gender biases.<BR/><BR/>Good on you marching into your boss to demand a raise!Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460136246441367993noreply@blogger.com
