When my son was 2, he used to play with dolls. Now at 5, he wouldn’t be caught anywhere near one. I never discouraged him to stop playing with dolls – in fact, I prefer them to the superhero action figures – but somewhere along the line, he got the message somewhere that only girls play with dolls/Virginia de Leon, Are We There Yet? More here.
Question: Did your sons play with dolls?

I remember well that my son’s best friend when he was three was the little girl next door. One day I over heard her asking him to play house. He didn’t want to so finally she told him that if he would play house, she would let him shoot her. So off they went to her house to play house with him carrying his gun.
