Boys and girls are wired differently


OK, today I talk about how boys and girls are different. You already know the difference between boys and girls in terms of physical build, anatomy etc. And then I am sure you also hear scientist argue how the brains of girls and boys are programmed differently. I got a first hand look at the results of this theory. I got a dinosaur and a doll for my two children. Can you guess which one they choose to play with. Ernest is just so fascinated with dinosaurs and Phoebe, she sticks to dolls and pretty dresses. Actually at one point in time, Phoebe actually played with animal toys, but over time, she just don't play with them anymore. Maybe it has to do with the environment as much as it has to do with DNA. Any comments.

Interesting. Too bad for now I can only experiment with my baby toy, whose only toy is his hanky. He is not even old enough to play with the toy you bought him yet!
Sometimes I lament time passes too slow. How I wish I can play with him already. But then I hesitated after I read your energy expanded vs. size theory...

Don't worry about your baby not growing fast enough. Ask any parent and they will tell you how fast kids grow up. Before you know it, Ian will be in college tackling girls already. So cherish this time now as it will never come back again.
