Gender stereotypes

I like to think I'm fairly in the middle of defining gender roles with the boys. I do things like take out the trash, and Chris does dishes. I encourage Carson to play with his pink bunny carseat and to bottle feed bunny. Carry a pink doll diaper bag with his own fake iphone and a bunny bottle.

But when it comes to TV, he is ALL stereotypical boy. Dinosaurs, trains and monsters. I've tried getting him into Tangled, I really have but homeslice is all about that abnoxious little train.

I'm starting to notice definite gender roles coming to play. Especially since all of his friends, they are GIRLS. I am one of the lucky mama's that has boys, but her boys prefer girls. Thank goodness!
