For us, it really seems that things have gotten somewhat easier over time. Perhaps it's because we purposefully surround ourselves with a loving, accepting community (and homeschool) so that when my 5 1/2 year old son is with the greater public he has such a sense of confidence about it that I can't help but be proud. We went through a three month stretch where he was afraid to wear pink or dress up clothes because my mother tried to physically remove us from my dying grandfather's hospital room b/c of what my son was wearing. He had on all pink, pink sparkly shoes and fairy wings. Over a year later, we no longer have a relationship with my parents because they actively oppose our choices to let him be himself freely and I have not looked back and questioned that decision one bit. I hope that it gets easier for all of us at some point down the road! {{hugs}}Michellehttp://www.2pedalsphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464201653179922615.post-21085333206558170042010-11-06T08:25:23.669-04:002010-11-06T08:25:23.669-04:0026.2 miles?

So uniquely him, I loved it! His twin sister (and their older brother) however, at some point, got to him about purple being a girl color and he reluctantly changed his favorite color to blue, the favorite color of his older brother. It made me so sad!! He was crushed. I tried to reassure him it was okay, but to no avail- I was too late. He never smiles about blue like he used to smile about purple :(<br /><br />On the flip side, his now-teenage older brother has <i>started</i> wearing bright-pink t-shirts because he has discovered "chicks dig guys in pink shirts!" Ha!<br /><br />In any case, when Captain Destructo gets his own book, I think he should wear pink :)<br /><br />p.s.
