Sammy is all boy, that's for sure. He loves stealing his brother's Nerf gun. My husband (who has 3 brothers) wasn't allowed to play with guns when he was growing up. He just used sticks instead. What do you think about kids and toy guns? And if you love this picture, you'll really dig this guest post by Sam himself, around age 2.
I'm totally for it! When they are old enough they even go hunting with their dad. Someday, they could be soldiers. Who knows? But we teach them gun safety and they know guns are serious business. So as far as toy guns go, it's just a boy thing and they love to pretend they are finding bad guys. I love that.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't let them play with 'guns' they will find another way... something forbidden is always more interesting. If not toy guns, then Lego guns, if not Lego guns, then sticks or their fingers. Teach them right and safety rules and it will go a long way. And be safe with your own guns.
