No gender stereotyping here - just thought Id share...

My son loves pink and wearing headbands he has a cabbage patch baby called Brett Chester that belonged to dh when dh was a kid so it's like a family heirloom passed down from father to son lol ds takes it wherever he wants, when he sits with it in the trolley with him at the shops all the old ladies go aww lol

Pink used to be my eldest sons favourite colour too. He would always choose the pink texta, ball etc. I was waiting for him to choose pink clothes or something but he developed autism and couldn't communicate that well and I thought it might come off as weird if I dressed him in pink when he wasn't asking for it? I used to buy him pink toothbrushes and things though. Your son looks very happy with his hair clip

My boys have a pink dolls house. But that's mainly because doll's houses seem to come in pink which frustrated me as houses aren't generally pink and it's just dumb stereotyping it as a "girls" toy.

For my eldest son's first birthday he got a doll and a tonka truck. He would have gotten both regardless of his gender as I think they're classic toys every child can play with. We also have a proper baby doll that the boys like to play with. It has all the correct anatomy so they have a little boy baby that they can recognise themselves in.

I know what you mean about the dollhouses Meow, I tried to buy one recently and wasn't able to find one that wasn't pink. Now I don't mind pink but I was frustrated at not having a choice. I ended up finding a wooden rescue centre with furniture and everything. It's got a fireman and a policeman with two dogs plus their vehicles, but not the family that I originally wanted for them to play with.

Cute!

DS loves trying on DD's clips. He loves pink too. My two fight over the pink plate/bowl/cup lol! But he has zero interest in dolls. We bought one just before DD was born and the only time he's played with it is when DD wants it and he's in the "everything she wants, I want" mode. It lasts two seconds before being discarded.

We already have a treehouse that is more gender neutral but we specifically wanted a house that had a bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms etc and it had to have opening and closing doors and windows. So pink it was. I also don't care about pink and the boys like pink but it still irks me that we couldn't get a regular house colour (in a reasonable budget) without going DIY.

Treehouse sounds very cool Yes we were considering building one out of a bookcase, but are still working on their kitchen so weren't really up to the challenge!

Raffy we were hoping to get a pram for our guys and again they're all pink.

Yeah? Good to know, thanks. I have only been looking online so maybe I need to actually get out there and have a real look
