I think this is very cute and I appreciate that it is cheap and creative. Unfortunately, I have a boy and he’d rather eat a fistful of slugs than do anything that might be called
cute.

I sometimes envy the girls with all their cheerful social interactions like having younger “buddies”, giving gifts, having parties, and especially all the cheering for and encouragement. A girl gets a new skill and they ring a bell and everyone cheers. A boy gets a new skill and the coach gives him a curt nod of approval or a perfunctory fist-bump and maybe a few teammates grunt in his general direction. My son loves to cheer on his teammates and I feel sad that he doesn’t get much back. I let him have very limited access to Instagram on my phone because the older boys he trains with do give positive feedback to each other online.
