When I was a kid, my siblings and I used to circle everything we wanted for Christmas in the Sears Wish Book. Now my kids do this with the ChristianBook.com kids catalogue.
While looking through the catalogue I noticed that Liam had marked a small pink lamb/blankie.
When I asked him about it he explained to me that it was for the baby. He explained that he wanted us to buy it for him for Christmas, so that it would be his, so that HE could give it to the baby.
I did not tell him that pink is usually for girls,
and that the baby might not be a girl.
We did buy it for him and
wrap it up for a Christmas gift,
and he did give it to Malachi
the first chance he got.
Since then, any time Malachi fusses one of the boys will run and find his blankie for him.
They still don't know that pink is for girls.
