Andrea, this is layers and layers of cool.

now I am giggling too .. love it.

He is a beautiful child, no matter how he dresses!

this is such a happy picture and very precious

Hilarious!! My 2 boys are often in my closet trying on my high heeled shoes. Pretty funny stuff.

I cannot even get over this.... canNOT.
Holy geez, this is such incredible goodness.

Adorable! I love that they are holding hands. And the shoes! I love 'em.

bosom buddies!
so cute.

Aw...he's so cute! ;)

Aw...he's so cute! ;)

this photo is making me so crazy! i cant take the cuteness...

I love how they have their hands clasped together!

erupting in giggles up here!

LOVE this -

I love that you can enjoy that moment! Do you realize how many parents would never let their sons play and dress up that way? Really. What an awesome parent you are!

I can't stop laughing.
At first I was wondering what you meant because I didn't SEE that it was BEN. I thought I was looking at two girls!

Love this! Jacob (age 8) has long hair right now. I often look at him and imagine what a little girl might look like. Ben looks precious.

So cute! My 5 year old son's best friends are girls and there are often dressing up as princesses, with his long blond hair he makes a pretty girl. I've got lots of photos like this one!

I have three boys and one girl. Their favorite Saturday morning game? Dressing up in princess and tutu attire. I love it!

xo

Very pretty, indeed.

sooooo sweet!!! i am told that when my husband was little, he went through a time when he wanted to wear a dress, so his parents got him a red velvet dress that he loved and wore a lot. i love that his parents did that for him.

I have photos of my now 13-year-old son in a curly blonde wig, in a purple tutu and matching beret, and many other lovely girly outfits. He and his older sister used to LOVE dress up when he was little. It was tough not to laugh really hard when I saw him all dolled up, but wonderful to see them so happy together. Even he laughs when he sees the photos nowadays.

Thanks for sharing!

Also - my word for 2010 is "pilgrimage." Going on a journey, many journeys, I hope. I really like the image of you in a cafe with your journal and pen, sketching and writing and making lists. Such a lovely vision. Miss you.

He looks pretty!...like a friend who was often wearing girls stuffs as a child and is now gay.
He is my best friend.

Be. Still. My. Heart.

I love this photo! My son (3 1/2) has two older sisters, so he is very comfortable wearing girly dressup. He was Tinkerbell for Hallowe'en this year!

Never throw this one out!

It will also provide his jr. high school pals with endless giggles!

He looks amazing in pink! And princess clothes are way more fun than prince clothes!

He's pretty!
I told you so at BlogHer. (In a nice way, not stalker-ish at all, I promise.)

well, he is beautiful! happy new year to you!

Cute either way.

Oh dear lord! That is soooo sweet.
The thing is, the whole ensemble really suits him.
What a treasure.

Whatever he wears that kid is beautiful!

And yes, mondo bizarro!

;)

so much like my son at that age -- in nylons, nail polish, aprons, the works, i loved it all and do i have pix -- (ben makes a darling girl)...

i could show you pix of my son -- nylons, nail polish, the works when he was that age -- love it! (ben makes a darling girl -- benita?) (then i actually had a girl and people cracked up at how much they look alike -- mondo bizarro -- cookie cutter kids they called them -- even tho temperamentally they're very different)

HILARIOUS!!!!!
you know this could be used as blackmail on his wedding day or 21st birthday...etc!!!!
love it!

I love how seamlessly kids can cross gender lines.
My son loves to clunk around the house on princess heels, and then zip some rubber bands from his DIY shooter.

so awesome and hilarious!! love this!!

xo

um. i think in about 10 years he's going to be very mad at you. however, i love how you've styled his hair nicely into an enviable set of bangs.

hehehehehe. i giggled and giggled when i saw this. i live with a married couple who has an almost 3 year old boy, and his 2 girl cousins live next door and dress him up like this too. so funny.

oh that is the sweetest photo! too cute:)

They're beautiful!

They're beautiful!

I think You need think about it also. Despite the emails, the overwhelming evidence showing global warming is happening hasn’t changed.

Ben is so in touch with his feminine side! He is adorable !

how cute is this?!! Made me giggle too! Oh the joy kids bring to us!!

Boy or Girl or Princess or whatever....that is one adorable kid!

I've been meaning to tell you for a long time...I think you're just great. So easy to read and understand, like I'm listening to a good friend. I appreciate your honesty and humor. All rather refreshing and real.
Thank you and may your New Year be filled exactly as it should be.

oh my gosh, he looks so sweet. I wonder what our world would look like if we all had access to our three-year-old, holding hands- sweetness. Or if boys were allowed to feel like they could keep on being such an easy part of girls' worlds if they wanted to.

Oh I love it! I have pictures similar to that of my son playing dress up with his big sister. So sweet.
