There is a little lad who looks and acts as if is four but he is headed towards his seventh birthday. He is so small and speaks with lots of pauses and umms...

He has many, many toys. This party was a pricness theme. Where upon he Disney princess as its them.

I asked just a few days ago when he came over to watch Grinch and the Wizard of Oz what he wanted to be when he grew up. A pretty, pretty, princess.

When his father came to get him he was in my daughter's room and they were playing dress up. Needless to say the lad was wearing a pink drees and a teara. His father was fit to be tied about the princess things.

I hope he somehow finds it in his heart to allow him to who he is going to be. Maybe he will out grow it? That I'm not too sure of.

My boy had a baby doll and loved Little Mermaid almost as much as this young lad, but he did not dress up in dresses or want to be princess. You hear all the time that boys who grew up to like such things started when they were very young.

But his dad is yeller and like a great many dads wants his son to be the man he is.

Frankly, I hope not.
