Ds at preschool, attached to a Primary. Tomorrow is their Nativity and he has been telling me he is an angel. Lovely, son, cant wait to come see you singing your songs.

They had a dress rehearsal today and all the classes at the Primary watched. Dd is at the Primary. She has told me this evening that DS is "the only boy angel, lots of girl angels and he and the girls are wearing white and gold sparkly dresses".

I try and make sure my kids know clothes are just clothes. Whatevs. As long as you are comfy and happy I am happy. However dd also said some of her classmates were laughing saying "your brother is a girl".

Ive no idea what the costume is like, they are all provided. So I reckon they are just a bog standard white and gold bit of cloth and thats that. However what if it is a dress? He clearly doesnt care otherwise he wouldnt wear it, so Im happy he is happy, but what if the other kids keep on with the comments given to dd today?

I went to my son's nativity today( y1&2) after a review from my Y6 boy. Look out for boyweknow as angel Gabriel.,he was awesome.
And he was,surrounded by girl angels but totally playing the part.
Kids don't care. They don't have the same preconceived ideas we do.

I'm having this quandary except my DD (4) is one of the 3 wise men and the other 2 are boys. I hope nobody laughs! I know it's silly.
They won't.

Yes, so we must be careful not to pass them on.

Not all angels are even "human". The thrones are described as giant wheels with eyes! Would love to see the children dressed as some as those Grin
