My favorite thing about 2011 thus far? Princess boy. His real name is Dyson Kilodavis, and he's a five-year-old boy that wears dresses and loves the color pink.

When I saw this sweet little firecracker on the Today Show I may have teared up a bit. He spun around in his tutu freely, drew pictures in a sparkly pink shirt next to his older brother and told Meredith Vieira that he wears girl clothes because "it makes me feel happy!"

His mother, Cheryl Kilodavis, is author of the book "My Princess Boy" and says she wrote it as a way to settle her unease about her youngest boy acting outside of the traditions of his gender.
