yep DS has two dolls here and at my mums he has all my old dolls and dolls pram and he loves them. every time we go to a friends place who has little girls he loves playing with their dolls and their princess dress ups. on sat night he was walking around all night in purple heels, a tiara and a pink fluffy handbag saying oooh preeeety DH was mortified and tried to make him stop and got a resounding "no daddy!" but his favourite toys in the world are trains and trucks.... as i see it, dressing up is learning. playing with dolls is practising being a daddy just as little girls practice being mummy.
