Juulie,
My sister-in-law was adamant about raising her daugther and son in identical manners so that they would not develop according to the classic stereotypes. Both had the same mixture of toys, including dolls and basketballs, etc.
She gave up when her son was around three. Sure, he played with the dolls. But whereas his sister took good care of the dolls, he found they made excellent toy guns...
Viva la difference!
