My son, for example, will use anything as a sword right now. and when playing with the same toy as my daughter, he is more aggressive. They were playing with my daughter's doll house yesterday, and he only wanted to play with the boy dolls and had them climbing all over the place. While she set up everything just so, and made them talk to each other and stuff like that. I know there is a big age difference right now, but when she was his age, she played the same way she plays now. I can definitely see the more nuturing side of her, and the more adventurous side of him. It just amazes me how different they are, when surrounded by the same toys. I hope I explained it right.
