We're NOT boys!

Since the whole feminist uprising (soooo last millenium!) society has tried to tell us that we can do anything boys do just as good as boys and we are equal in every way. Well, that's not entirely true (unless you can name one girl who can pee standing up :P). Males and females totally have differences that we need to celebrate instead of trying to mask.

Yesterday my neighbor and I were letting our babies play. Her son is 5 days older than my baby girl. The were both in diapers, sharing his play gym. The boy was using both hads to grab at toys and anything near him and trying to roll over on his side, while my girl was more interested in looking at his mother and cooing at her then looking back at me, just to make sure I hadn't left. Isn't that amazing?? He is already more interested in motor skills and she already prefers to communicate and we haven't done anything special to make them this way.

Even though this is just one tiny difference, we really should be celebrating what makes us uniquely women. Being Equal doesn't mean being the SAME. Eve was Adam's equal partner before the fall, but "male and female He created them." :)

Wow, that is fascinating how different we are, even at the ripe age of 3 months!
