Boys were dressed in blue to prevent evil spirits from entering the bodies because it's the color of the sky and was therefore associated with heavenly spirits.
Girls weren't dressed in blue, apparently because people didn't think that evil spirits would bother with them. Eventually, however, girls did get their own color: pink. Pink was chosen because of an old English legend which said that girls were born inside of pink roses.

there are no such things as laws, laws are past judgements in a courtroom so that would have gone to court many years ago and seen as legal. if you did that now you would go to jail
