We always promised ourselves during the pregnancy, and heck, probably even before, that no matter what sex our child was, we wouldn't pressure any certain gender roles on him or her. Of course, it's hard to actually keep that promise when you think of pink princess things, adorable dolls, dress up clothes and little pink tu-tus.
Sometimes, all that flies out the window when you find your daughter playing with toy drills and driving toy cars around and saying, "weee," and "vroom." While you're laughing, she's also crazy about anything related to a sport and she does seem to have a fascination for trains and airplanes. I have a feeling that even though we have a daughter, we may not be exempt from buying Thomas the tank engine toys. Please pray for us; that stuff is expensive!
All joking and fear aside, Bailey definitely is still our little princess, but she's so much more than that. She's everything we could ever have hoped for in a child.
And then some.
