I'll bet people are more worried about getting it wrong and being embarrassed about that than whether you choose to dress her in blue. Maybe your response when people call her a boy should include a comment that makes them feel OK about getting it wrong. (Like "I just like to disguise her as a boy.")Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563974065483777734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33177169.post-65423728686819666582008-09-30T13:02:00.000-04:002008-09-30T13:02:00.000-04:00Done, although I did make knit her the pink layett...Done, although I did make knit her the pink layette.pawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255247673778901000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33177169.post-24788066095290346782008-09-30T11:33:00.000-04:002008-09-30T11:33:00.000-04:00@lucy: Oh it written in the baby handbook.

I told him THREE times that he's a boy but he was old and couldn't hear me. Finally, his companion told him he was a boy and he was so apologetic. I didn't really care, but I found it strange that my little boy in blue and green stripes was mistaken for a girl. To me, Carter looks like a boy.<BR/><BR/>I loooove that outfit, btw.
