So we know that Grace already has all the female tendencies, i.e. obsessed with princesses, needs to be re-assured every 5 minutes that shes beautiful, loves chocolate...
Well, I discovered her secret stash this morning. Yeah, I said stash. We have a tupperware with homemade marshmallows that "disappeared" recently. I found it tucked away in a corner of the fridge with the lid just sitting on top. I secretly watched Grace look over her shoulder, dash into the kitchen, open the fridge door and sneak out a marshmallow in less than five seconds. She stuffed it into her mouth and then walked back into the living room very nonchalantly with a very satisfied look on her face.
I guess I didn't realize that having a girl meant that estrogen would fully manifest before she was 3 years old!
At least I still have a little time with Zane before testosterone takes him over too. Oh wait, his favorite store is Best buy and he's playing a video game right now...

I love watching how the boy/girl things come out in little people :) Jacob loves his "driver" and often turns things over to "fix" them. Hard-wired...I tell ya!
Homemade marshmallows??? Do tell!
This was so funny! Yeah, the estrogen and testosterone are hard wired. Give a boy a doll and he will turn it into an army man. Even if its a Barbie. :) Impressed that you got a post in when you are moving in four days. Way to go!! Love Mom
P.S. I posted Steph's marshmallow recipe at christine's kitchen. Look under candy, or just search for "marshmallow." Am going to try them myself some day!
Marshmallows are one of my fav treats, but I had stopped eating them awhile back. They are made from commercial gelatin, which is pig and horse cartilage/intestines...yuck! So I set out on a quest to make my own. I ended up using a kosher gelatin, that is not made from the same animals or parts :) The next time I make them I will post pics!
