when his Mom was pregnant. He didn't care if it was a boy, or girl doll "like Mommy". He also wanted a Kitchen Set, and constantly wants to help his Mom cook. So what? Lose the male/female gender classifications. Perhaps, he will grow up to be a Chef like his Great-Great-Great-Grandpa, or a Chef Ramsey. At any rate, maybe loving. caring Daddy from changing Baby Dolls Diapers, unlike his PRESIDENT. "HER job, not mine."
