My nephew, a 3YR OLD BOY, loves to play with his play-kitchen and his toy vacuum (classic “girl toys”). But he also loves to play with his monster trucks and and dinosaur toys just as much. No gender stereotypes here!! #proudaunt#CofCDevSci
When my cousin was 4, and was still developing her language, she once asked my uncle where his “odor-mint” was after he gave her a hug. She’s not wrong, deodorant is a mint for your odor! #CofCDevSci#overregularization
