When my younger son was born, I bought his big brother a boy Cabbage Patch Kid, so he would have his own baby to play with. This quickly wore off, and he went back to playing with swords. Though both of my boys also loved playing with action figures. eXcellent post about your boys Lynn!

I grew up in a time when weapons were pretty much the norm as we were still fighting the Japs and the Injuns. At least that's mostly what we were seeing on TV and in the movies. I never took much to play weapons and mostly preferred the little plastic soldiers and cowboys. I tended to play things like disaster and circus more so than fighting and war.<br /><br />I raised girls and none of them were into weapons or violence.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br />Almost at 100 followers—are you one yet?<br /><a href="http://psalmsunday.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> A Few Words </a><br />An A to Z Co-host blog<br />My Main blog is <a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-76911764268184549982012-04-27T12:19:27.862-07:002012-04-27T12:19:27.862-07:00me too and fishing in my back creek with sticks--t...me too and fishing in my back creek with sticks--thanks ruth :)Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2827744487724967185.post-36545482063765534512012-04-27T12:05:16.159-07:002012-04-27T12:05:16.159-07:00I remember playing with sticks as swords and guns....I remember playing with sticks as swords and guns.
