I remember the days when Carson was 2 and Laiken was 4 and Carson idolized his big sister. He played with Polly Pocket and Barbies and would dress up in her Disney princess clothes and clomp around the house in her high heels. She was his best friend and he wanted to do anything that she was doing. By about 3 1/2, Carson had outgrown some of that and had moved on to cowboys, pirates, and Star Wars.
Nolan likes Laiken, but having a big brother has kept him from blurring the gender lines quite so much. Tonight, though, after seeing Laiken with some curlers in her hair, he insisted on having a few himself. He wanted me to put them all over his head, but we finally agreed that four was enough. Ten minutes later, we took the curlers out so he could go to bed and his naturally curly hair had already formed little ringlets! I know what you're thinking...if his hair is long enough to wrap around a curler, he probably needs a haircut. I know, I know....but I am really kind of enjoying his crazy little head of hair and all those curls. I'm afraid that if I take him in for a trim, the stylist will cut off too much and then it would change his whole little baby look.

My sister and I used to dress my brother up all the time! But don't worry. He turned out ok. He's happily married and about to have a baby girl. Maybe all of our "girliness" will help him relate to his daughter!!!
