My 3 yo DS has finally given up his Thomas obsession and replaced it with one of his sisters' dolls. He calls it 'My baby' and he takes it everywhere, to the park, on the school run, to the shops and to nursery.
We get a lot of looks and have had a few total strangers laughing and commenting. One old lady told him he should be playing with cars, not dolls which left him very cross.
And then at nursery one of the new ladies was going on about how unusual it was for a boy to like dolls. Is it really that unusual? I think it's sweet.
DS has three older sisters who went through doll stages and I assume he'll replace the doll with something more 'masculine' eventually.
The only thing that worries me is the poor doll is naked. AIBU to go out and buy it some new clothes????

AIBU?
To think it's fine for my son to have a doll?
