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

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
somewhere along the way I discovered that I hated skirts and dresses and wanted to wear jeans, t-

You're doing the right thing. I will admit to being quick to commenting to Jessi on a young boys' DS bag...it was pink, he was about 7. She reminded me, "maybe he likes it" I said "you're right, he probably does. I just don't see it often so it's still socially weird." BUT once I remember that I let Jessi wear what she wanted and if that meant Harry Potter glasses and a scar drawn on her head, then so be it. And if a girl wants to wear blue and black and have short hair, that's fine too. So if Jaxen likes pink and Hello Kitty, people need to let him (and you) be. He is 5. He hasn't been brought up to think that pink is for girls and I think that's how it should be. And the kid with the pink DS bag also had an older sister and the fact that he didn't care the bag was pink was my indication that I (and other people) shouldn't either.

Great job on raising him! I think a lot of people say it wouldn't matter but when it comes time to put their feet to the fire they shrink away. So great job for truly living your beliefs. I think Jaxen looks wonderful.

Good for him for being confident and secure, that's what matters.
