What beautiful responses.

Even though I get begged into all the pretty little things, I've tried to maintain the "girls can do anything a bay can do" motto.

She has her big trucks (pink lol) for the sandbox. I took her once to the hardware store so she could have her own tools to help me with small jobs around the house. I'll be damned if they didn't have a pink tool box with pink tiny tools. They even had tiny pink mechanics gloves. We got those "'Cause I don't like when my hands get all nasty!!!

She's definitely not going to be on the side of the road with a flat waiting for a tow truck. LOL

I'm hoping to give her the skills to be completely self sufficient and let her maintain her "princess status" so to speak.

I raised two boys for quite some time in their lives. I had no problems teaching them the "boys don't hit girls, hold the doors open for ladies, ect".
I grew up watching my father's mannerisms closely, so I think for me it was "easier" to bring them up as strong young gentlemen.

I think I'm just nervous because it was easier for me with the boys. I don't fake my excitement when she gets excited over things. I tell her how nice her new haircut looks and the clothes she gets. I've sat in on the tea parties.
What worries me is those teen years are coming on so fast and I'm starting to find myself a little lost. And who the hell is Eye Carly???

I don't know...I just want to do right by her and if I have to form a dang femme troupe of my own to help her get through the transition into womanhood I guess that's what I'm going to do.
