oof-- i hate when they take good toys and change the colors to be more girly. as someone who is quite girly and has a girly girl and has no problem sticking her in pink/purple or whatever froofy frilly thing, i must be the target audience for that stuff right? oof. i hate it. they have stacking rings that are only purple/pink, a ball popper push toy that is purple/pink, of course the legos, and a bunch of other various things. i'm all about the primary/neutral colors on those sorts of things (because truly, that pushtoy popper/popcorn thing is really the bees knees to children even if it is plastic and ugly)... do people who get these items in pinks then have to buy entirely new plastic stuff when they have a boy? i'm guessing yes. because heaven forbid your boy play with the pink legos/popper/stacking rings. ugh, it makes my green heart groan, not to mention my feminist tendencies!
