I always hoped that one of my children would be into art like me and since the stereotype is that boys can not sit still, I thought I would have to have a girl to be able to share that passion/hobby with one of my children. Well now 4 1/2 year old DS1 is surprising me in a very wonderful way. He LOVES to do art and I think he is quite good at drawing for his age so he had to have gotten that from me. Yay, it makes me so happy. He does so much art at Kindy and takes heaps of work home.
The same DS1 also enjoys cooking but he gets that from his Daddy who is a chef.
Your ballroom dancing vision for your boy and hoped for girl is so cute. Perhaps your boys can still dance together. A neat duo in another genre? Or in ballroom on the floor together with their own partners. If we look hard, many of the things we hoped for in one gender, we can get with the other. I know it is still not quite the same as getting your GD but it can help.
