When Daddy's away...
Mommy lets Gavin play with a baby doll....
(sorry the pics are blury, they are from my phone)
Look how cute that is..... Normally, I would have been totally against this (and I will say that I put my foot down when he kept wanting to play with a purse), but he was just tooo precious holding the baby, rocking the baby, taking care of the baby. He even knew to put the baby in the high chair--- I did NOT show him that. I was so impressed with how well he "nurtured" the baby doll. It was actually the first toy he's never thrown. He was very concerned when the baby's hat fell off and tried dilligently to get it back on. I don't feel bad about letting him "play" with a baby doll, I mean, look... he's holding a golf club between his legs... this just means he is a great multi-tasker, will be a great big brother SOMEDAY, and has a soft/sensitive side to him. I do hope he enjoyed this, because when I emailed Brooks the pictures, he had something to say about it.

Don't worry, Lindsey, studies show that children don't TRULY understand gender differences until 5/6! Which doesn't change how WE think by any means... I still wince when John Paul likes to "help" me put my makeup on.
He is far from the only boy to play with babies! And you are right, he's just learning to be a great nurturer. He will be a great big brother some day. My nephew's fight over baby dolls at my parents house and I'm sure my little guy will be doing the same thing when he gets a little bigger :). Tally and I think it's hilarious, our other sister and her hubby don't think too much of it though :) so I'm sure those are the same thoughts as Brooks :)
