May 23, 2017 was Addy's fifth birthday. She was bugging us all month long of what she wants for her birthday, a Paw Patrol cake. Everyday, we hear questions from her like, "Is it my birthday today?"or "How many more days before my birthday?".
While Kiera loves pink, Disney princesses and anything girly, Addy loves blue and animals like horses, dogs, royal pets among others. She specifically fell in love with Paw Patrol characters. Her favorites are Skye and Everest (the female characters), but I can't deny that she loves them all. She knows their names, their colors, what they are capable of, their rides, etc. by heart. Whenever she and her sister play, Addy always pretends to be one of the Paw Patrol characters. Most of the time she's Skye or Everest, but sometimes she's also Zuma, Chase, Rubble, Rocky, Marshall or even Ryder. She would always tell her sister, "Ate, I'm just pretending to be a boy but I'm a girl, ok?".
We allow our kids to play whatever toys they want to play, as long as they're safe. They can also roleplay whatever characters they want to be. They can choose the color of their clothes and other things, they don't need to choose pink all the time just because they're girls. We are ditching gender stereotype in our home and just let them enjoy their childhood. I hope you do too :)
