toes

so friday we were painting toes and jack get very upset because i usually tell him no. however whats the big deal? he is a little boy he wants to have fun and what does he know about gender? what do any of us know about gender and roles? so i said to myself f@$k it and painted his blue.sophie called him a boy girl and then got in trouble because name calling isnt cool. the boy was very happy though. who am i to stand in the way of that?

    cool that you painted jack's toes since he wanted it. i agree: we shouldn't impose our views on what's appropriate gender roles...

    yes a lot of times i have to stop myself and think for both of them when i am going to open my mouth about that stuff and whats appropriate. sometimes its hard because i feel unsure about things.
