In my last blog I made the controversial statement that boys and girls learn differently – there was no comment so I am assuming that everyone agrees. A couple of days after my post I stumbled accross a great example. Harper has always loved books, and it’s not that D doesn’t, but he mainly just wants to turn the pages. Well, we were looking at a book that Harper has always loved, Can You Find Me, it’s a seek and find book – full of jumbled up pictures where you find the three dogs or the 5 cookies etc. Harper has always liked it and we’ve given it to several little people but I can’t remember if I’d ever looked at it with D – well, the second page has barnyard animals, but it also has tractors – D freaked out – he found all of the tractors on the page. Funny thing is he shows no interest in the pages with toys or food, but the pages with trucks, planes, and motorcycles – wow, he freaks – we’ve looked at the book for hours in the last two weeks. So, i’ve been on a mission to find him boy specific books – he may never care about Good Night Moon (although I bet he will) but if he likes trucks – well of course I’ll do anything to get him to look at a book.
