http://www.pamshouseblend.com/diary/18353/today-show-features-my-princess-boy-author-and-sonThe Today Show ran a wonderful story this morning of an adorable 5 year old boy named Dyson Kilodavis, who likes to wear jewelry and pink princess gowns.
After young Dyson began grabbing for "girl's toys" and pink, sparkly dress-up outfits, his parents became, at first, alarmed and uncomfortable that their little boy might be gender-dysmorphic.
"I like to dress up in different kinda clothes, and jewelry," says Dyson. His favorite outfit of all is that of a princess. Cheryl Kilodavis and her husband, Dean, came to accept and embrace their son and his budding, authentic self. When Dyson decided that he was going to wear a princess costume to his school's Halloween day, Cheryl called the school and told them what was going on. Dyson's teacher, Judith Hart, called together the entire staff for support and she got it-even three of the school's most "macho" male employees dressed as ballerinas for the day to show support for the "Princess Boy"!
