She didn't really have any friends who were girls when she was small. She was just interested in that stuff. Additionally, I have a three year old daughter who is very not interested in dolls and princesses. You would think if it was a matter of socialization, then her little sister would be a prime candidate to be socialized into those preferences. Her little sister is much more interested in building puzzles than playing with dolls. It's actually astounding how much kids preferences seem to materialize on their own. They are these little people, and we think of them as being blank slates, but they are actually not blank slates at all.
