for his 4th birthday. The latest in a line of requests for "girly" things, he had a princess dress from Father Christmas, and wants to be Tinkerbell for his Peter-pan themed birthday party.
He plays for hours with a 'vintage' fisher-price dolls' house at Grandma's house. Big brother already has a John Crane wooden farm which has a farm house with furniture, but for some reason that doesn't seem to be good enough.
Most of the houses are very pink - I am watching a couple of plainer wooden ones on ebay, but we'd then need to source furniture sets as well, and much of it is squarely aimed at girls. There's also a small playmobil take along house - we have a few bits of playmobil already. The playmobil one is less expensive (£30) and less likely to turn into a white elephant if he decides in a year he is too cool for girl's toys.
Our policy so far is to go along with any reasonable requests and not worry about his love of all things girly, but DH is a bit concerned about it, and we don't want him to be bullied when he starts school this year.
