It's been going on for a few months now. I realise it's normal to a certain degree but he loves trying to squeeze in to his baby sister's clothes, he mainly only hangs around with one child at preschool who is a girl, I went to pick him up from preschool the other day and he ran up to me wearing a dress and he had been wearing it all day apparently. Whenever there is a toy pram around he wants to play with it, he loves his sister's dolly, he has said he wants to be a girl or a 'princess', and that he wants long hair, he loves pink. I would love him just the same if ever it turned out he was gay or actually wanted to be female, I just worry so much about bullying, although I suppose undeniably there is a part of me that just longs for my kids to 'normal'. I think DP would have a hard time coming to terms with it, especially if it ended up being a transgender issue.
Am I just being silly? Is it normal to this degree?
