What is your daughter? So far my girls are 100% girly-girls! Not in the sense that they don't like to get dirty but they would prefer their little kitchen to mud pies.
Proud Navy Wife since 1/10/06;

Due in September? Join us in September 2011 Babies!
My oldest, Hikari, is a Tomboy. She loves getting dirty, and clinbing trees and trying stunts. She gives me heartattacks frequently!
My youngest, Allora, is a girly-girl. She loves to play princess! She sings and dances! She knows how to bat her eyes to get what she wants.
My daughter was such a girly girl from babyhood on, I didn't even BOTHER to buy her jeans, shorts or any kind of pants. She wouldn't wear them. It was dresses, skirts, or skorts only. (Or swimsuits...she's a competitive swimmer, and has been since she was 8.)
But when she hit I think 7th / 8th grade, it was a total about face. Now, she's more like me, and only wears skirts on special occasions. She still prefers her skirts for her school uniform....but otherwise, it's jeans or shorts. She's not much into makeup, and usually wears her hair loose or in a sloppy pony....again, except for special occasions.
I'd like to see her embrace her femininity more, but I figure she'll be like me in that aspect..she'll be in her twenties and independent before she comes into her own.
And we are SO okay with that!!
I try not to label my girls. I guess they are like me. I can be girly and I can be tough and athletic. I can't say my girls are Tomboys. They don't particularly like to get muddy, but they have when we go hiking, for example. I guess if I were to label them, I would say they are athletes.
Happy Mothers's Day!
