Sometimes I wonder whether I would treat Harry the same if he had been a girl: whether I would throw him in the air, throw him in the air to turn him around, bounce him around in the Papasan chair, or bury him in pillows. (This pillow fun is one of Harry current favorite activities and he'll often whine beside the sofa until I lift him up and start piling on the pillows.) I like to think I would, but I wonder whether a little girl would somehow, subconsciously cause me to be more gentle. I guess we'll never now, because even if we were to have another child and it was a girl, my pattern for child's play has been established.
