I had a self-proclaimed &#8220;tomboy&#8221; who wanted to do everything her brothers did. &#8220;Girls can do anything boys can!&#8221; she would proudly proclaim.  She basically took karate to fight off her brothers. My younger son is a football fanatic who loves to lift weights. And of course, with my first-born son I expected nothing else but the typical &#8220;boy stuff.&#8221;  So, when my youngest daughter was born, I didn&#8217;t know exactly what to expect. Turns out, she&#8217;s the complete opposite of her sister. Loves pink, tutus, glitter&#8230; everything girly and enjoys twirling in her dresses. My older daughter jokes &#8220;She&#8217;s the daughter you<strong> really<\/strong> wanted!&#8221; I laugh with her. So, when a new dance studio opened up across the street from me, I thought I should take my youngest to try it out and now she&#8217;s obsessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
