Things I think...

So this picture of you is cute, and the time we had playing at our friend's house was fun. But the reason I'm writing this is about the doll you are holding. Barbie. Ah, it takes me back. Anyway, it did make me really excited to realize I still can and will buy you a couple dolls, if you want them that is. I find nothing wrong with that and know you will just use them to act out and model what you see at home, as all kids do regardless of gender. They are good imagination tools. Not to mention, I think more boys should play with dolls and get to have these mini "roll models" to act out the new generation of men that are there fathers: cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the babies at home same as mom does. So I guess a Barbie and Ken are on the "to buy" list down the road. It's just refreshing to know that the circle you travel in it will be not only accepted, but nurtured, you learning how to care for your "babies" as they often become.
