everything is 50/50 in our house.

but we cant control the influences outside the house.
to counter this we try to build a strong base for him.

one day he came home and said kids made fun of his winnie the pooh shirt (he was 5) and didnt want to wear it anymore. we successfully convinced him that he could like what he wanted and their opinions didnt matter (lots of adults like winnie the pooh)

it was rewarding to see that work ....
and he's applied that mind set to everything else.

he doesnt want to play with dolls - but he likes doll houses (small plastic dinosaurs need a place to live too)

he's a good healthy mix ... we're pretty proud of the way he sees the world..
