Jaxen loves pink.. and I am not going to stop him.

[lizardjee]

I remember being maybe 5yrs old and LOVING a certain dark blue jumper. I wanted to wear it every day. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and getting it out of the laundry just so I could wear it again.. I am not quite sure what happened but

Arbitrary and meaningless markers of gender identity can get stuffed.

This is a beautiful post and that is a beautiful child.

I think you are remarkable!

Totally agree and wonderfully well said.

My guy is just about to turn three and is getting to an age where his friend at school seem to "know" what boys should be doing/wearing and the same for girls. I'm trying to figure out how to have the conversation with holland if he does want to wear nail polish or do something stereotypically female. I won't discourage it (at all) but I feel like I want to prepare him for what he could potentially (unfortunately) hear from other people. Do you talk to Jaxen about this at all? Would love to hear your approach.

Love it

I just love you and your parenting style and Jaxen is just such a lucky boy.

My 3 year old loves Pink and taken part in girly stuff - nail painting/make up etc.. just yesterday he was at a birthday party and got upset as he forgot his party dress lol. Of course he does have two big sisters who encourage him.

Im a big believer in letting them find there own way , Ru for the most part is a very boys boy and loves everything boy..just with a bit of sparkle underneath :)

It boggles my mind that people actually care. Well....I guess I should say that people who want to be themselves, but unfortunately have a lot of prejudices against that, actually care and want to do that to someone else.

Like you said, it's not hurting anyone so let the kid enjoy what he enjoys.
