Girls will be Girls

I've always made an effort to have a variety of toys available for my children, regardless of gender stereotypes. Jordan had baby dolls, Taryn has had access to all sorts of things "boyish"--cars and pirates, trucks and trains.

Yesterday I found Taryn playing with her brother's Power Miner Legos. Unlike the boys, there were no pseudo-explosions, no rock monster attacks, not even any tunneling. There was however, ballet.

Did you know that when they aren't working in the dirt and rocks, giant mining vehicles can also do a perfect arabesque?
