This was a very interesting read. I learned so much! Fascinating about the shoe company and all that history.ONE thing that’s different for me is I LOVE the stereotypical girl clothes. I have two boys before my daughter so my initial thought was, “oh gosh she’s not gonna be drenched in floral and pink, that’s so dumb.” Then when she came out….hahahaah I lost control. Being my last baby and my only girl…I can’t say away from the girly clothes. Haha

We are all allowed to be different and have different preferences! I am mentally preparing myself because at least one of my daughters will likely gravitate to more of the "girly" stuff. What bothers me is when other people make assumptions and develop these rigid ideas/expectations about kids based solely on their gender. It is harmful. I read a book about this that I would highly recommend called Parenting Beyond Pink and Blue (https://www.amazon.com/Parenting-Beyond-Pink-Blue-Stereotypes-ebook/dp/B00FDS7KOS)
