chill out project #1

[metaphortunate]

Chill out project, today's result:

1) Attempted not to freak out about things but just take things one at a time.
2) Junebug ate dinner late, got to bed a half hour late.
3) Junebug was an entire delight all evening, with a few freakout exceptions possibly caused by hunger.
4) Junebug can go upstairs all by himself and fetch Rocket a clean bib. In fact, will insist upon it.
5) Rocket has been sucking the ol' boobs dry, but that's probably not related.

On another note, is there like a one drop rule for gender in kids' clothing? Rocket has a blue pyjama with pink piping and I realize it kind of looks like girls' clothes to me because of that pink despite that it is like 90% blue. I mean, he's wearing it anyway because I don't care, but I thought that was interesting.

I always like to remind people that pink for girls is pretty recent (I've seen references saying Victorian times, and also 1920s). Before that, it was "dress him in manly pink, not that girly blue," because pink is related to red and red is the color of battle and war. The changeover seems to have been entirely a marketing tactic.

Oh aye, it's something I'm quite fond of reminding others of also :3 I'm totally that "Actually, did you know that" person when it suits.
