Boy Dress Up

Little Buddy loves to dress up with the girls. Daddy made him stop dancing in their tutus, so he now wears an Asian outfit that PaPa brought him from China a couple of years ago. It is bright, shiny, and makes him feel like a prince; a good compromise. Now that he's 3, he's definitely discovering the "boy stuff." Our friend Amy made him his own superhero cape, which he loves, and he's recently been loving being our rescuer in his Spiderman outfit. It's fun to watch him developing his own style of play as he realizes he doesn't have to do everything the girls do. They are learning to play together in different ways. They can be the damsels in distress; he is the rescuer. They are the princesses; he is the prince. They are Rapunzel and Mother Gothel; he is Flynn Rider. They are the mothers; he is the baby (he really likes that one). His is going to be one strong person after he survives living in a house where he is outnumbered by girls. I am convinced that he will be a more well-rounded person and hopefully more sensitive husband and daddy because of their (our) influence.
