My son's favorite color is pink. It's not even close. He's three years old. Whenever he is offered anything, he wants it in pink. He's always loved the color. His favorite lovey is pink. His favorite toy cars are pink. When we drive through at Starbucks, he always wants a cake pop, and the only one he'll eat is the Birthday Cake flavor. It's pink, with sprinkles. This is, of course, a problem, but not in the way you might think.

I saw today an article about Lego marketing a special collection for girls. Purple and pink colors. My three girls and one son all got regular Legos & Duplos to play with growing up. I never saw Legos as a gender-specific toy. One of my daughters and my son are engineering majors in college.

They are great toys for kids (of all ages!) which encourages them to use their imaginations and be creative.
