Okay, this is not the difference, it is just a difference, but a difference just the same.
Cooper wanted to play stuffed animals with Kami. She wasn't interested and so I told him I would play with him. I picked the little stuffed puppy up and said "ruff, ruff. Hi Cooper, my name is Ruff." He just looked at me, suspicious like and so I tried again. This time I threw in a "Do you want to play with me?" for good measure. Again, he just stared at me. Then he picked up his little stuffed cow and I thought "Hey, we are getting somewhere."
Then he smacked me with the stuffed cow and laughed.
(Actually he smacked Kami because she was standing right next to me. His aim isn't to good when he is swinging.) Then he did it again, and laughed.
Apparently this was considered a good time. Apparently, if you are a boy, this is how you play with stuffed animals. Good to know. Kami likes role-play, Cooper likes smack down.
I should have known. When we play trucks, Cooper doesn't like to race around the room saying vroom vroom. (I thought boys liked that?!) Nope, he likes to say vroom vroom and then ram his truck into yours.
As long as I live I think boys will be a mystery.
(added later) Okay when I said that this wasn't the difference I didn't mean THE difference, I simply meant this isn't the one and only difference, just one I had observed. Just wanted to clarify...I do know the difference (anatomically speaking) between boys and girls.
