Pillows

28 Jun 2000 - Pillows
Today the boys wanted to go to the toy store. Jordy had birthday money leftover and Jamison had a few dollars of allowance left and Jordy had offered to lend him $2.00. So I told them that once their chores were done we would go. They hurried around and got all of their stuff done. I was still working and they wanted me to hurry. I told Jordy that when I finished washing dishes I would still need to make up my bed and then we could go. Jordy wanted to speed up the process so he offered to make my bed for me. He did, and we went shopping. later this afternoon I went into my bedroom. Jordy had done a pretty good job. But one thing that I thought was funny. I have 2 pillows that are forrest green. Then to fancier pillows that are the "wedding ring" design that matches my comfortor. I put the 2 green pillows agains the headboard, one on Calvin's side and one on my side. Then I put the prettier pillows in front of those, one on each side. Jordy had put both of the green pillows together on my side and both of the fancy pillows together on Calvin's side. I guess in his little boy brain that seemed the way things should be, like pillows together.
Anyone that doesn't think that boys and girls are born different either doesn't have children of both sexes or hasn't paid attention. With no prompting from me Hannah is careful that her clothes match, and would have instintively put the pillows the way I do. Jordy and Jamison only get dressed because I tell them I would get arrested if they went around the neighborhood naked. Then when they do dress it is the first thing they put their hands on with no regard to color or style. They will go take a bath and put on the dirty clothes that they just took off if I don't check. Hannah on the other hand changes several times a day. LOL.
Of course there are countless differences. But these are the things I noticed today.
