I use to think that boys and girls acted/played differently because of nurture. But now that I have spent a lot of time around toddlers and babies I really believe that nature plays a big role in it. Madeleine's friend Colin came over on Sunday to play and he definitely plays differently than madeleine and her girl friends. Madeleine had a blast playing with him and it is so good for her to be around a real boys boy.

Colin used the soccer goal pieces as a drum on Rody.

Paul enjoys having a boy in the house whenever Colin comes over. Colin is so cute because he always calls for Paul when he wants something or wants to show him something. One day we had Colin and Lauren over to play and Colin ditched the girls and went and "helped" Paul in the garage.
Throwing and chasing balls. They spent a good hour throwing balls down the driveway and then chasing them. I think Madeleine learned to run faster trying to keep up with Colin.
Checking out the car.
Throwing balls down the slide.
Colin had no fear going down our very fast slide.
