I wouldn't encourage it, without me buying the dresses for him where would he get them? Doesn't seem like he has sisters.

Kilodavis said the reason she wrote the book is because she couldn't find one that properly addressed her situation.

"I was a little shocked that there wasn't a book out there that focused on little boys dressing up without jumping to the gender confusion or the sexual orientation point," she said.

At a very young age, Kilodavis said, Dyson had an interest in "beautiful and lovely things" and it was much different than raising her older son. She wrote in her journal about going through the acceptance process.

"The book is really more than just about a boy who dresses up. The book is really about acceptance. It's saying 'will you be my friend? I'm choosing to do something this way, will you still accept me for who I am?' I think we all want that for our kids. We want that for ourselves," Kilodavis said.

She said the point of the book is get you to ask yourself 'what would you do in this situation?'"

"I don't think our jobs as parents is to control our kids and make them unhappy all the time. I don't think my job is to say no every minute. My job is to be a guide and to make sure I'm raising a healthy, happy, and safe little boy. That's what we're doing."

Re: Would you let your son do this?

there appears to be some gender issues - seems like the elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss

i'm surprised he doesn't want his hair long also

if he's gay or transgender his parents are definitely taking it in stride

dyson said wearing a dress makes him happy - but he didn't look happy on the video

Re: Would you let your son do this?

I think it could also be a phase. Just like girls who are tomboys, who do grow up to be straight girls.

As Seveen mentioned he is not asking for his hair to be long so it could be that he just likes the colours and sparkles of the clothes
