Some of us push back.
Ain't no heels on our gal; she wants to run like the wind. Ain't no nail polish or jewelry either (beyond a vintage stunner that both she and her brother like to knock about in). Ain't never going to need a padded bra based on her gene pool! The only make up she gets is a kiss from me and the odd swipe of lip balm (Raspberry Lemon blast is the current fave - right from her Xmas stocking). She plays two mummies with a girl-friend with no designer diaper bag in sight. She takes gymnastics with a boy-friend. If she becomes a ski bunny this year, it will be because she falls down in the snow too much.
While we seem to have won out over anything pink (Pinkalicious musical for 2-6s, anyone!!>>??), she does covet all things sparkly... I think she would like to be re-incarnated as a disco ball. But there again, I know a number of boys who would like the same.
