Despite the similarities, there are still some big differences between boy and girl toddlers.
If you’re the mother to a little girl, you’ll be nodding along to these…
- You find yourself singing along to the Frozen soundtrack, even when your daughter isn’t in the car with you
- You have a whole drawer set aside for ribbons, bows, headbands and clips.
- One day you will find that you have become used to the ear-splitting shriek that comes from a little girl when they feel they have been wronged
- Craft time basically just means glitter glue, and lots of it
- You’ve paid more for a dress for your daughter than you would normally spend on your own clothes
- They will want to choose their own outfits from early on, and there’s not much point trying to fight it
- You have replaced the multi-coloured cups and plates with just one colour to avoid breakfast meltdowns
- There is a good chance they will fall in love with some sort of teeny tiny toy family of animals that come with their own (expensive) campervan and farmhouse.
- It’s easy to lose an afternoon colouring in together, and it’s actually quite relaxing
- You’re a regular at her home salon and often have your nails painted yellow or your hair crimped
- Treasure comes in many forms, including shells, buttons, and ribbons
- A bad mood can often be turned around with a tutu, or handing over your jewellery box
- You include your little girl’s baby doll when you do your internal head-count at the playground
- You’ll spend a large amount of time removing stickers from mirrors, floors and clothing
- If someone happens to say ‘let it go’ in conversation you can’t help but sing ‘let it gooooooo, let it gooooooo’
We love girls.
