Toys :)

It is a common connotation for young children to relate blue to boys and pink to girls. This starts from the time that we are born! Baby boys are wrapped in blue blankets and baby girls are wrapped in pink. This is just an easier route for identification. It is not until we develop a little bit in our early years until we realize the difference and start liking whatever color we want. As a child I was never told that I couldn't play with a certain toy because it was a boy toy. I was fully allowed to do the things that I enjoyed doing. I would play cars with my dad, barbies with my mom, and entertain myself with whatever was available. It's no fun for a child to be told they cant do something because it is not the "normal" thing for him/her to do. Some of my best memories are four-wheeling with my dad, and helping him under the hood of our many cars. I was never one to be super girly, and it was never pushed upon me to be that way. My favorite color is still blue, and I am 100% girl.
