My three-year-old daughter likes to pretend to be a boy when she is participating in role-playing games with her older sister. When they play superheroes, she chooses to be “Shark Boy” or “Superman, NOT Supergirl.” When they play house, she’s the Daddy.
She once asked me if she used to be a boy.
Today, she was telling me about a girl in her preschool class.
“She’s a girl, like me,” she said, before amending, “Well, not a girl like me.”
“How is she different?” I asked.
“I talk like a boy, so now I’m a boy.”

Cathy, you’re too funny!
I asked her one time why she liked being the Daddy, and her reply was, “Because he’s the biggest.”

I just found your blog via Studio Mothers (I think). I love this story.. My son (who is 5) will sometimes put on his little sisters princess dresses and prance around for days saying he is a girl princess. He will stay in character literally FOR DAYS. So cute, I love it!
