My sister-in-law is pregnant and we have recently being having discussion after discussion on socialization of gender (she doesn't believe society shapes our children, only parents do...WHAT?!) With that said, I would have LOVED your input on a recent post i wrote that turned into a bit of a fight with her and my brother... ugh... (sorry to self-plug on here and feel free not to publish the comment if you'd prefer not to link this but here's the post: http://feministgal.blogspot.com/2008/03/socializing-gender-through-toys.html) Good luck with your book and hope to see more posts from you soon!!

Do you think I should be worried? My 2 year old son's Christmas present (which he specifically requested) was a toy stroller, and today he asked to go to daycare wearing pigtails - which he wore all day long. He sure looked cute! Nice to 'read' from you. See you there.... -Amy V. Can’t wait to meet you at the conference! Do you think I should be worried?

Now if I can figure out how to incorporate the Littlest Pet Shop stuff, I'll be in business. Or maybe get my own book done by the end of the year!

I've kept this blog in my rss reader hopefully waiting for a post - such a nice surprise! Hope the book writing is going great!
