the difference between boys and girls

So I have both genders for children in my home.  It makes me smile to do the comparison for example my little girl sits and plays with shoes, socks and clothes.  It's kind of funny, after all we do have about 100 other toys, and she prefers to go sit by the shoes and play with them.  If a child loses a sock she has to go over and pick it up and play with it.  For example my son lost his sock she crawls over and starts to play with it.  She is trying to stick it in all sorts of different toys and see how it works.  She twirls it in her fingers and switches the sock from hand to hand.  I know I am in for a long expensive ride with that one.  Now she has started a phase where she loves books, I am glad she loves books I am hoping she sticks with that throughout her life.  I guess this makes her pretty easy to shop for.

                                                        

Now for my son, He would rather play with cars, or blocks.  With these toys he is very destructive, he goes about building his tower of about 10 blocks then, that's right you guessed it, takes the cars and knocks them over.  He thinks that is the funniest thing to watch them all come falling down.  Now I would say he has a down right obsession with cars, trucks, planes or trains.  It's so bad that today while I was asking him what he would want for lunch he said an airplane.  I proceeded to tell my two year old son that he can't have an airplane for lunch and asked him again what he wanted.  Yes that's right he again said he wanted an airplane for lunch.  So today as I make my fish sticks for lunch I will attempt to make him an airplane.  I am a little curious what he would do with his fish stick airplane.  I have to ask myself if I really want to find out?  I suppose I shouldn't hinder the boys imagination and encourage him to think in ways that don't seem possible.  Who knows maybe my son will be a great inventor for something that seems impossible.
