Oh, I almost said, “What a Beautiful little boy!” Ah, it makes more sense that she is a girl, but she is still uncompromisingly gorgeous! Look at that smile! Ahhhhhhhhhh! After all this Duke drama and immigration nonsense, it did my heart good to see such innocent beauty. Thanks!

Holy Crow! Sydney’s all growed up! Where’d all that hair come from?

Can’t wait to see her again sometime. I think she’ll be my height by then. :)

“Don’t the flowers give it away?”

My conclusion on this subject after having raised two kids is that the only things people will pay attention to when making spur-of-the-moment gender decisions are the color pink, hair length, and jewelry. I’ve had my daughter dressed in all purple, with flowers, and been mistaken for a boy because of her short hair. At age 11, she finally got tired of it and grew her hair out. Now no one mistakes her for a boy, unless she’s wearing a hat.

Sydney’s a good-looking kid. I can’t believe she’s only two and a half — she looks so much more grown-up than that!

You know, I find that I really look forward to these Monday picture shows. Now that my girls are grown (or nearly so), I realize how much I miss those days when they could spend hours of pure bliss playing on something simple like a slide or playhouse.

I admit I was wondering whether stereotypical boy wear might be different in Amp’s neck of the woods than it is here. Not that there’s anything wrong with boys wearing pink flowers or girls being mistaken for boys. Always been kinda puzzled that that’s about the most shocking comment you can make to a parent: “Oh, no! He’s a BOY! Not a girl!”
As per nearly everything, there is kid’s wear and girl’s wear.

Why do they think she’s a boy? Don’t the flowers give it away?

As my mom would say, she’s starting to look like a real kid.

photo - and she is tall, for a two-and-a-third year old. (And of course, dressed like she is in these pics, strangers always assume she’s a boy.) Anyhow, Sydney loves slides; she loves climbing. […] Continue reading at Alas, a blog … posted11:01 pm at Alas, a blog
