Okay, so she still doesn't have a huge amount of hair yet, but she does have the cutest little curl at the back of her head and its definetly getting longer. She wears a lot of pink and is generally wearing her red coat with bows on. Her little trainers even have pink on.
It was only recently that some one was calling her a boy. I politely corrected her and said "girl" and the lady replied, oh I should of known that she was a little girl, she is wearing pink. I thought, No you should of known that because you have just spent the last 5 min trying to talk to her and she IS A LITTLE GIRL"
Im also getting a little fed up of people calling her a boy on the blog when people are commenting on my posts and my photo's of her. "Aww isn't HE cute". I really would like to thank those people for taking the time to see that my blog is about my little girl Lily.
Then in a shop last week we got a man saying "excuse me little dude". Which did make me want to turn back to him and apologise for being in the way by saying "sorry madame".
A year ago I though to myself, it wont last long, its only because of the short hair and all baby features are cute and so baby boys can also look pretty. But now she is becoming a toddler its annoying me even more. I don't think there is much I can do about it. Dressing her in pink doesn't work, and I doubt even putting a bow in her hair would work to the people who just don't pay attention. Maybe a sign above her head? What do you think? One that Lily can hit people with when they don't read it and call her boy. Haha.
Lets see in another year if i'm writing the same post!

My boy keeps getting called a girl :S
ReplyDeleteI had this with my daughter until she was about 3 and a half
ReplyDeleteEek how rude! I'm sure some people do this on purpose? She is clearly a girl!
ReplyDeleteShe clearly looks like a girl! This has happened to a few of my friends as well and they get just as frustrated!
ReplyDeleteI have three girls ... aged 19..15..11 ...
ReplyDeleteAlthough I didn't have this problem the fact I now have a 17 month old BOY you can imagine how many of his clothes are blue !! I love blue , I love cars (he has cosatto rev up car buggy) I love trainers and I love relishing in everything "boy-ish" ..
Yup you guess it .. I also have the problem of blind , inattentive people who regularly say "isn't she lovely " .. or "I've just had a grand daughter they are so much fun at that age" ..or "is it a girl ?" ... is IT a girl ?? Really 🙈😤
I feel your pain ...
Lily does look like a girl ! Think the clothes should give people a clue
ReplyDeleteHave come across many mothers who put bows in the only little strands of hair their baby had :- To communicate "Girl" to others. Also some use headbands. Lily is pretty. You mention you believe she is shy. She will interact with others, and may well inform people in regards to fact she is a little girl. Especially likely once she starts nursery. She is cute. Best Wishes for future.

Lily's toy dog looks so cute. She seems to be enjoying playing with her toys. Fun whilst learning.
