We do a lot of dressing up at our house. And since our dress up options are all feminine, Erik frequently comes home to Sam in beads or pink hats and shakes his head. Dress up is a very serious affair - when she puts on her Cinderella costume, Dad gets to play every other character in the story over and over again. For hours, if he has the stamina. He's perfected the art of armchair acting. The other day, Morgan pulled out her beautifully-crafted-time-intensive french braid because "Snow White does not have a braid! She has a headband!" I grit my teeth and try not to squash her imagination.
