About a month ago we noticed that Gracie seemed to be confused as to whether or not she is a boy or a girl. We traced this back to Lauren and quickly discovered that Lauren had told Gracie that she was a boy. As in, "I'm a girl, and you're a boy."
Or, as I overhead on the monitor one night when Lauren was correcting Gracie, "Uh-huh, no, uh-huh, you're a BOY, Gracie."
The motivation for this was likely something as small as trying to claim ultimate control over all the pink toys, leaving behind anything non-pink for Gracie because, after all, she is a boy -- or, as Gracie pronounces it, "a BOYYYY-YEEEEE," you know, like BOWIE knife.
Fast forward a couple of weeks, and Gracie is up to speed. When asked now whether she is a boy or a girl, she will emphatically say, "A girrrrrrrrrrrrllll!!!"
