There are countless differences in little boys and girls. Don't get me wrong, there are also many, many similarities. Cora likes typical girlie stuff and Reed likes typical boyish stuff without guidance from us, but Cora also loves trucks and trains and Reed has no problems playing family or with stuffed animals. One of the biggest differences I see is their default play mode; Reed is incredibly active often with kicking, punching, spinning, jumping and Cora is engaged in more quiet play, reading, mothering, drawing. Cora can whoop it up with the best of them and Reed can sit quietly for extended periods to draw or play Legos, but generally they play differently, especially when alone.
Here is Cora enjoying a quiet moment with Pink Baby. She's reading from her "Church Book," a little missalette that she managed to acquire from church. Cora has no problem pretending to read and telling stories. Reed seems too aware that he can not read the words so he won't even pretend.
Pink Baby looks quite engaged
