For example the duplo train set - the girls made it as quickly as possible and then played with characters getting on with their lives on and off the trains - ds spent ages building it just how he wanted it and then crashed trains on it. Also despite having one very physical girl my son was the one who needed to get out of the house and would drive us all mad if we'd been stuck indoors for a few days in the winter - he was just more boisterous.suzywoozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588381109297168846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830837025531932611.post-29191761615934124812012-07-05T15:37:49.995+01:002012-07-05T15:37:49.995+01:00LOL thanks Lisa :) Your HB sounds like my kind of...LOL thanks Lisa :) Your HB sounds like my kind of girl ;)<br />And yes - the boys are great fun, I'm so glad I get to hang out with them :) xxYarwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098749995710313233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830837025531932611.post-6730237999920772352012-07-05T14:14:36.741+01:002012-07-05T14:14:36.741+01:00It sounds like my HB is very much like your boys w...It sounds like my HB is very much like your boys when it comes to learning.
