The boy who loves to be a princess (and who doesn't?)

Here's a nice story friend Mae sent me about a boy who likes to dress as a princess, and how his mother decided to accept it and then wrote a book about it.


Mrs Kilodavis told the Today show how it was her older son, Dkobe, eight, who convinced her to let Dyson dress as he wished.
'Dkobe said to me: "Why can't you just let him be happy, Mom?"
'I realised at that moment that this was my issue, not his, and not Dyson's nor Dean's,' she said. ... 
Our children are teaching us how to accept them every day. We all want our children to live in a world where they can express themselves without harming anyone else or being harmed.'...
And his father insisted that aside from his choice of dress, his son was just like any other five-year-old. 
'It's not contagious,' he said. 'He's just like any other kid. He plays checkers, he plays in the trees. He just likes to do it in a dress. Big deal.' (Daily Mail)


Kudos to the older son for defending his brother's choice. :-)
