I'm glad this topic has come up. My 5 year old son has been interested in the color pink lately. He wants the pink balloon and he wants the cupcake with pink frosting. At first I thought "no big deal", but my husband and I find ourselves instructing him that "pink is for girls". It sounds extremely trivial but we really are stressed about how to handle it. Should we leave it alone or will he continue and want pink bows in his hair. He is, otherwise, all boy...trucks, bugs, mud, farting, etc. I guess I'm afraid because my gay nephew loved everything girly when he was a toddler. He played with dolls and girl toys and loved the whole girl thing. Maybe we're just stressing for nothing. Hopefully he just likes "pussy pink"
