[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Toy guns, but it didn’t matter. Around 3.5 everything became a gun: sticks, shoe horn, ruler, LEGO, etc. [/quote]

Lol!! Exactly this. After my DS turned 4, he turned everything into guns or swords. He loved the Nerf gun available at a birthday party venue he tagged along to. I finally gave in and got him a sword. But still holding off on gun toys. He's such an incredibly sweet and gentle boy and I screen what cartoons he can watch (no Transformers as they are too violent for his age yet), but I was surprised to hear him pretend play with two other boy at a party, "I know how to kill" or "I can kill" or something to that effect. The other two boys and him were pretend fighting, laughing, giggling, and at least another parent was beside me keeping an eye on them. I am amazed at the gender differences between my older daughter and my younger son, in that even though he's low on the agression side compared to his classmates, him having XY chromosomes he still wants to play fighting, guns, shooting and used the word kill.
