Shoes: I really thought the whole women and shoes thing was a learned trait. However, after watching my daughter I am convinced it is gender related. At 3 she not only loves shoes (she has like 8) but 98% of the time she can pick out shoes that match her clothes...my success rate is more like 50%.
Potty: No matter how much a little girl wants to stand up and pee in the toilet like her brothers it is not going to work and it is quite messy.
Private Parts: It is one thing to have a boy proudly display his privates. However, when a little girl does it, daddy has to be peeled off the ceiling by a laughing mommy. If I could afford a therapist I would be there right now.
Fighting: Little girls don't get mad they get even. A was roughhousing with RP. She took it the whole time with a bit of whining. However, I will never forget the smile on her face when she slammed shut the door on A's hand five minutes later. I feel sorry for the man who gets on her bad side when she grows up!
Clothes: In the last 14 years none of my sons has danced around the house telling everyone "My clothes are pretty!". My daughter does it all the time.
Food: My sons eat the entire pizza and then start eying the box. My daughter eats a bit of 5 different foods, grows almost a foot but does not gain any weight.
Bedtime: With my sons, if they woke up they came straight out of their rooms. It never seemed to occur to them that they were going to get put back in there. My daughter will wake up and carefully sneak down to her big brother (C1). Sometimes it is hours before we realize she is in there watching him play Xbox.
Well that is about all I can think of right now. I am sure I will come up with 100 more as soon as I hit post!

Sounds right to me. And I don't even have any boys!
I don't have boys either but this is right on track for both of my girls!!
And the shoe thing, it only gets worse!!
her poor brothers, they have no idea what is coming!!
So cute! Very observant! The shoe thing amazed me; I called my first daughter "Imelda". One time we were at an open house and we went into a room that was all dolled up as a "Cinderella" themed room...canopy bed and all - way overwhelming. I was just waiting for Lydia's comment, but she said, "Look at those shoes!" because over in the corner was one pair of pink shoes.
