Equal opportunists

We are equal opportunists with toys. If the kids want to play a sport, great. If they want to play with cars, great. If they show an interest in dolls, even better
Why better? Because it is so rare for the boys to notice all of the baby dolls in Lane's room. In fact, I gave Gabriel a baby when I was pregnant with Alex. I was slightly horrified when my one year old threw the doll against the wall.
When the three kids picked dolls to play with last weekend we went with it. We told the boys that if they wanted to become a good daddy one day, they needed to learn how to take care of a baby. They practiced diapering, burping, clothing, and feeding. It was pretty darn cute
When we went in the car, they each insisted on bringing two babies with them. Off we went with three real children and six dolls.
Since we really are equal opportunists, when I got back from class today, I noticed they had played with cars.
