Nature vs. Nurture

Before I had boy/girl twins I really thought that kids played with whatever they are presented with. It is amazing to watch Ben and Lauren play; they are interested in the 'opposite' gender toys, but they usually end up playing with the toys intended for their gender. This morning Ben and Lauren came down the stairs each carrying a doll. Lauren was lovingly carrying the girl baby in the crook of her arm whispering sweet nothings to her. Ben had the boy baby by the ankle letting the doll's head hit every step yelling "baby, baby, baby"
