What are little boys made of?

Boys will be boys? Even monkey boys

What makes people gay?

These are a couple of interesting articles that came up on the FMH blog. The first one is particularly relevant to my experience with Noodle and Spud. Noodle will take anything, spoons, condiments at the dinner table, scraps of paper, etc., and call the biggest one “Daddy,” the next biggest “Mommy,” and the smallest “Baby.” She’s done it as long as she could vocalize, and probably prior to that though we weren’t aware of it. Spud, on the other hand, started “driving” things around with his hand the instant he was slightly mobile. He’d drive pieces of paper, CDs, jar lids, whatever, around the room.
