    Heh, they all look the same to me, for the most part. Put a bow on T and he suddenly looks like a girl. I haven't had any assumptions with him, though.

    It depends. That is why I usually put a bow on her! When she has no bow (and has little hair), and not head to toe in pink, I don't blame people to assume she's a boy

    I have had her in a pink dress and bows and she has still been referred to as a boy. I don't get it. At 2 its pretty obvious now but when she was younger people would get so confused.

    No one has ever mistaken LO 1 for a boy, even though we have a blue stroller and blue A&A blankets. But she always had headbands and had her ears pierced at 1.

    I'm sure I'll get it with LO 2 though. Two girls in a blue stroller with blue blankets will just be too much for some people.

    @blackbird: lol same.

    A could be a boy or girl I'm sure. Her hair doesn't make a difference. I don't really care lol I rarely correct strangers if they're wrong

    I generally don't correct people as I don't care much about a passing strangers comments. I'll typically reply with a polite thank you. My husband on the other hand gets really bothered and will 100% of the time correct the person.

    Up until 12m we always heard "cute boy" especially since she wore lots of blues and greys. After her ringlets grew in no one has mistaken her gender.
