Nature vs. Nurture - The New Spin

We were off to the park today to visit with some families who have also adopted from Ethiopia. Today, we had 6 families and LOTS of kids. I didn't take photos of the entire group, but took a few at the end as I was making a few observations with another mother. Our discussion revolved around Boy Energy and Girl Energy. I got a great set of photos to prove the point. 


Here is B. Posing for a nice happy photo. Notice the stick in his hand. 


Enter G. She wanted to play around the tree, too. 


She even wanted to play with sticks.


But when the option to play peek-a-boo with a friend comes along, she'd rather play.





As B attacked the tree with his stick, then decided it was a fire-shooting weapon, the girls started to walk around, hand-in-hand. So we have my little nature boy with his sticks and our little nurturing girls holding hands. Ahhhhhhh.
