Pink or blue?

Society dictates that baby girls wear pink and little boys wear blue. I always thought "Pah - girls look like girls, it doesn't matter what they wear." But today I proved myself wrong.

Here is Hannah in her lovely pink baby grow (about to be trampled on by her mean uncle and daddy in this photo). She definitely looks like a little girl.

Pretty in pink

Now here is Hannah in a navy striped t-shirt. I have been looking at her all day and thinking she looks just like a boy! Poor thing. And she's been mistaken for a boy twice today by strangers who have said "Ahh what a lovely baby! What's his name?"

"I'm so confused!"

It's so strange what a huge impact societies' rules have imprinted on our minds! My dad has told me recently that boys used to wear pink in years gone by, as it was much more expensive to produce than regular clothes dyes. So of course the less favoured girls would not have been graced with such beautiful clothes! An interesting fact!

Hannah herself thinks she looks smashing in blue.

Wow. I look super cool.
