This image was taken here

  • I love blue color. I wore blue dresses on my engagement and wedding day. My husband is a blue lover's too!
  • Since I have Aliya, I bought pink clothes for her because she is a girl. Sometimes I mixed up with blue and other color's too.
  • When I put blue outfits on her, everyone who we met at Walmart will called her with name as 'little guy' instead of 'little princess' when she wearing pink dresses.

Aliya with blue outfits. We bought her a pink hat to show that she is a baby girl!
This photo was taken at Avera Clinic this morning. Aliya had her 3rd immune shots today.


    Why is the Color Blue Used For Boys and Pink for Girls?


    About the reason why the color blue is used for boys and pink for girls, history of the tradition.


    R. BRASCH'S 9 BEST ODDITIES

    • Why Is the Color Blue Used for Boys and Pink for Girls? Since babies look alike, it was long ago decided to identify their sexes through use of different colors.
    • In ancient times, it was believed that evil spirits menaced the well-being of infants.
    • It was also believed that evil spirits were allergic to certain colors, especially to blue.
    • According to Dr. Brasch: "It was considered that the association of blue with the heavenly sky rendered satanic forces powerless and drove them away.
    • Even in our own time Arabs in the Middle East continue to paint the doors of their homes blue to frighten away demons.
    • Thus, the display of blue on a young child was not merely an adornment but a necessary precaution."


    On the other hand, since female babies were considered inferior, it was felt they required no special color to protect them. In later times, parents became very much-conscious of the neglect of girls and introduced for them the new "pink" look.
