A new post!

This one is short though.

Emerson's teacher at daycare told me that she had been stealing toys away from the other toddlers in her room.

I know that's not ideal and we'll work with her and continue to set a good example. But right now I'm pretty sure she's not capable of understanding the concept of MINE and YOURS.

But I wonder - and maybe parents of boys can fill me in - would my daughter's teacher have even told me about it if Emerson were a boy? Is it just expected that boys are going to be mean and rough, and it comes across as especially egregious when a girl does something like steal a toy? Just curious.
