Friday was the CHS homecoming. I took the boys to watch the parade. Collin loved the fire trucks and he kept yelling at the passerbys whether they had phones or not. He is so weird.
Later that night I let the geek in my free and joined a group of old band nerds at the football game. My band director rog was there, wow except for greying hair he hasn't changed at all. About 20 alumni showed up to support the CHS mini band (this year there is maybe 30, when I was in highschool there was about 120!!) Only about 5 of the alumni brought their horns to play....oh well it was still a good time.
I need advise about something. Collin found his big bird stuffed animal a couple of days ago. I was sitting on the couch feeding Quintin, and Collin sits next to me, lifts up his shirt and began to attempt to breastfeed big bird!! I told him that only mommies do that but he doesn't have a clue about gender roles. Should I worry about fixing this or just let it pass (or maybe hide big bird, since it is the only toy he has ever tried with?)

I wouldn't worry about it to much. It's pretty much harmless.
I agree with Tif-do. Don't worry about it.
I am not a band nerd. i got to play a little bit because a friend let me borrow her instrument!
Pouting, I wanted to be there, to but we went to a crappy sorts bar to celebrate a friend's b-day.
I wouldn't worry about the big bird "incident" at all. He is just trying to figure it all out. He didn't bf so he may not really understand. I might (but probably not) worry IF he tried to let Quintin breastfeed from him.I think we worry way too much about our kids picking up things, but if he picks up that breastfeeding is normal, and that is what boobs are for, that is a great thing. Maybe he won't sexualize them as much when he is a *gasp!* teenager.
