Well Ben has got a glow worm that he LOVES
! He calls it his baby and pushes it around in his toy buggy, "taking baby to the park now, Mummy", and gives it food etc! So beautiful
. Kids are starting to learn about caring for themselves and for others at this age, and it's great for boys to be able to learn this with dolls too. Ben has been asking for baby wipes today to "wipe cars bottoms"....so I suppose they *can* learn these skills without a doll but it's a little bit weirder
!!
I think that blokes can often wonder if this is all 'ok' without really thinking it through. My Dh does loads of cooking/cleaning/washing at home and yet wondered it if was 'ok' if Ben had a toy kitchen, primarily because he'd only ever seen girls playing with them!! It took a two minute conversation where we chatted through the pros and cons (and quickly came to the conclusion there were no cons!) and then he realised of *course* it was ok for Ben to have a kitchen! I think he just needed to process it through, because, unlike me, he's just not thinking about this sort of thing all day every day!!
