Babies don't even know what gender is, let alone that they are supposed to like pink or blue based on that. <br /><br />Your daughter sounds awesome! <br /><br />And taco looks great in navy IMHO, so EZ may have been on to something.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-88096186988775444172015-04-03T21:25:57.632-04:002015-04-03T21:25:57.632-04:00Ha!

Maybe we should start a clothing line where the yellow gender-neutral stuff is all cheese-themed! Cheese is yellow, and I like cheese better than ducklings...Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-76477913433705934952015-04-03T11:14:05.354-04:002015-04-03T11:14:05.354-04:00Elizabeth Zimmerman, she of knitting fame, advocat...Elizabeth Zimmerman, she of knitting fame, advocated for dressing babies in a medium gray or in navy blue. Most babies look good in those colors, and they are not gender-specific. My own bald baby daughter looked better in blue than in pink, so I dressed her in blue. I laughed out loud at those who scolded me because they could not immediately identify her gender, and offered to let them change her next dirty diaper for me. <br /><br />in a lovely cinnamon brown with bright turquoise accents she was radiant. When she got old enough to choose her own clothing, she mostly opted for black, which looks fabulous on a brown-eyed ash blonde. <br /><br />At age seven, she announced to the owner of a high-end dress shop (for whom I sewed alterations) that she was going to choose black as her neutral wardrobe color. I was so proud of her.Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-35253351381699008892015-04-03T09:43:26.599-04:002015-04-03T09:43:26.599-04:00I like ducklings, it's just that now I'm s...I like ducklings, it's just that now I'm surrounded by them!

I go through all the colours you mentioned above as options & still the faces are blank. :-) I think most folk are so programmed to think pink or blue that they lose ability to think outside the box. <br />PS...Im quite the duckling fan TBH..whew!! :-)Cliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552253628640209694noreply@blogger.com
