My boys like to wrestle and fight and shoot people with nerf guns, and my girl likes to snuggle, runs from the boys with the nerf guns, cries when they touch her, and is overly sensitive about everything. In a nutshell, she is a DRAMA QUEEN! My point is this... she will be completely different from your boys, but you will love the snuggles, kisses, and affection that she needs from her mommy all of the time! You will love buying her the prissy dress up stuff, painting her fingernails, doing her piggytails, and everything else that sweet little girls love!stimpsonfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352800265226200952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27165523.post-58614628526978496782009-01-26T10:23:00.000-06:002009-01-26T10:23:00.000-06:00Back when I was a Beehive advisor (all those girls...Back when I was a Beehive advisor (all those girls have graduated from college by now), I asked Lew to help with an activity where he worked with them on basketball skills (most were very athletic). It was a disaster. Only 2 of the girls paid any attention. The rest just sassed mouthed him the whole time. Lew's analysis was this: (in non-parental leadership situations) boys will behave and follow instructions if you are intimidating and they are scared of you. Girls don't care. They will laugh at your intimidating ways and then continue to do what they want. Or they cry and make you feel bad.Karen and Lewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060603062935764478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27165523.post-89115688203589774802009-01-23T13:58:00.000-06:002009-01-23T13:58:00.000-06:00It has been nice to have a peek into your life.

However, my boys aren't very "rough and tumble" and can be overly sensitive at times. My girl is the toughest of all. Go figure. <BR/><BR/>I was so touched by reading about your oldest son. I borrowed the quote about adversity from your sidebar for a post I just did. (and linked to you - I hope that's okay). I will be thinking of your family often and praying that the future only holds good things. :)Malisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467637959125414526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27165523.post-27878414637063482922009-01-23T11:37:00.000-06:002009-01-23T11:37:00.000-06:00Yeah!

It always amazes me.<BR/><BR/>I have the same fears about raising a girl, and I don't even know what I'm having yet! If it's another boy, I'm off the hook for now, but if it's a girl, I've told Louie: "I'll nurse her and dress her, and then hand her over to you so as not to ruin her". He just laughs at me.<BR/><BR/>Also, I've seen that while girls and boys are different, they vary within the gender as well. Calvin plays very sweetly with baby dolls and is quite sensitive (no hitting, punching, etc). Milo also can be quite nurturing with a doll, but then starts throwing it and whacking it against the wall. In my family, it's my niece who's one of the toughest of the cousins (who are mostly boys) - so you just never know. But I DO know that you'll be fantastic with your daughter. You're Alli!Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214729463980227386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27165523.post-49677245368481569292009-01-22T09:25:00.000-06:002009-01-22T09:25:00.000-06:00I think you'll do great -- once your baby is born,...I think you'll do great -- once your baby is born, it won't be a "girl" anymore, it will be your child, a unique little soul who has her own personality. You'll learn what she needs and makes her tick the same way you did each of your boys. I love the outfit -- what a bargain!Handsfullmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080603359227234634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27165523.post-43025762486732687092009-01-21T16:57:00.000-06:002009-01-21T16:57:00.000-06:00Since I have six sisters...yep in my family all gi...Since I have six sisters...<BR/>yep in my family all girls.<BR/>seven.<BR/><BR/>We wouldn't have known what to do with a boy...
