Little Boys and Little Girls-Fun! Share your photo

I got to thinking today about the many differences between little boys and little girls. I often think about what it would be like to have a little girl but that will not be for a little while yet. DS is continually moving from one project to the next and its so cute to see him. He is all boy..... even with his baby cabbage patch and buggy. These are two shots of DS. One is from the church carnival where he was fishing for prizes and the other from his birthday party. He got a dress up Knight's costume. He keeps saying he wants to "Catch some dragons mommy". Too cute!

Would anyone like to share a photo of their little boy or girl doing something that "Just Says It All"

Pics of my girly girl...although it is so tough to catch the spirit of 'whining' in a photo. Why oh why did someone not warn me about whining 5 year old girls?!

Attitude, did someone mention attitude?!?
