A Seattle mother is making headlines for her controversial decision to allow her five-year-old son to wear dresses. Cheryl Kilodavis and her husband Dean have learned to accept their son Dyson who insists on wearing dresses. Cheryl is so accepting of her young son, that she even penned a book “My Princess Boy”, to encourage acceptance of her child and his love for dress-up.
During an interview with The Today Show, his father Dean denounced those that criticize his son and says that he's just exploring his childhood.
“It's not contagious, he's not hurting anyone…he's just like any other kid. He plays checkers, he likes to play in trees, he just likes to do it in a new dress.”
His mother adds that she learned to accept her son for who he is and the book helped her to encourage people to do the same.
