It's a story well worth watching:
And as the TV show host says,
"A little more love, kindness and acceptance would go a long way."Dyson's Mom Cheryl Kliodavis wrote and published "My Princess Boy: A Mom's Story about a young boy who loves to dress up," a non-fiction picture book about her son and their experience.
My thanks to author Hayden Thorne for sharing this with me so I could share it with you, and to Richard Metzger, whose article at Dangerous Minds, My Princess Boy: Meet The Most Awesome Family In America, tells the story beautifully.
Namaste,
Lee

hooray! one of my all-time favorite memories is from a few years back; i was visiting my parents in florida, and we were having dinner at a disney hotel that did a "character" thing (cinderella, i think) - most of the kids (little girls, almost all of them) dressed in princess gear. and my family and i were sitting there, eating our salads or whatever, and a family came in with a little girl (4-ish) and boy (7-ish), and both were dressed up: little one as a cinderella, boy as tinkerbell.
It was AWESOME. As my mom astutely said "what great parents, for letting both kids dress up as they wanted." the whole family was totally nonchalant about it all, exactly like all the other families of princess-sparkly-dressed kids.
It was one of the most awesome and happy sights of my life. I hope that little Tinkerboy, wherever he is these days, is sparkly and happy and doing whatever makes him happiest.
Love this family, with their adorable Princess Boy. GREAT parents, great older brother, fabulous coverage - interviewer handles this extremely well, and doesn't do any of that crummy "don't you worry you're not helping him prepare for the real world?" nonsense.
YAY! i love Princess Boys!
Aw! ^^ I recently did work experience at a nursery school, and there were a boy and a girl who wre best friends, and dressed up all the time. The girl always dressed up as Darth Vadar, and the boy always wore glittery princess dresses. It was just the sweetest thing! =')
