CW: I am so proud of my brave little Daphne. He has wanted to be her since before last Halloween. He was too nervous last year. He had a few moments where he was worked up about people making fun of him, but mustered up the courage to go for it. He held his little orange wig high today.
Roxanne: so awesome!!! to hear his drum beat and have the nerve to dance to it!!! and YOU rock mom for giving him that confidence. “you can be who you want for halloween kid” says way more than the obvious. :) i JUST found MY drum beat the last few years….. i kept dancing to others and wondering why it didn’t feel authentic. :)
Michelle: Go lil Daphne! You rocked it! (you too, momma!)
Michelle: “He held his little orange wig high today.” lol
He was awesome. Yours being a boy and mine being a girl makes me glad we didn’t have to duke it out over who was cutest;)
Marnie : Awesome, awesome, awesome! So glad he had the confidence and that you and Jim enforced that confidence :) and the “He held his little orange wig high today”… love it! Yay B!
Frances: Good for him for being so brave!
Kim: love it!!!
Amy: LOVE!
Chrissy:he is so cute !!!
Candice: I love it!
I have some really great friends and family. Thank you!
I’m trying to decide if I want to post a little bit more about this. I’m on the fence if I should just let some things go or if I want to go into more detail. Do the two of you that read this have an opinion?
In case I do decide to leave it at this, let me say one more thing: for those of you that looked at my sweet boy in disdain this morning, or looked at me funny for “allowing” my son to be what he wanted to for Halloween, or made those snide and unnecessary comments- your lives are small, your tact is lacking, and you can SUCK IT!
I’m adding your blog rss feed so that I can see your new posts. Keep up the good work!
Ok, this is a nice beginning but i’m going to take a look at that a tad more. Will show you exactly what else there is.
Dear mother,
I’m a Brazilian student and I have to do a paper to my teacher about boys who likes to dress like girls. And I thought your atitute great. YOU ARE THE BEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD. Could you send a message to my e-mail (crischer@gmail.com) saying something about American literature to children who thinks different, like your brave boy?
There is great books which told about gender identity in literature for children and youth?
Which ones?
Could you recommend one in special?
Best whishes.

Well, I don't know if a slimy slug is my idea of a good pet…but weehavtr floats your boat.
Hi, you’re a great mom and everything, but did you ever think that maybe you don’t have a son, you have a daughter instead? you keep insisting you don’t care if your son is gay, that he is just fine the way he is, but what if he is a she?
