Owen has a baby. He has had a baby since he was quite young, and recently took interest in his baby again. Baby Sunset- as Owen named him, has always been a boy to him, until recently. See, daddy made Owen laugh when he had chocolate milk in his mouth, and Owen spit chocolate milk out on Baby Sunset's clothes. Baby Sunset's clothes needed washing and Owen discovered that Baby Sunset doesn't have a (insert boy part name here). So Owen said, "Oh, I didn't know my baby is a GIRL!" He decided, then, since Baby Sunset is clearly a boy's name, that just wouldn't do! Now, Owen has re-named his baby to Baby Gertie. My little nurturer! Well, most of the time. Poor Gertie was overlooked at bedtime, and matchbox cars join Owen in bed tonight.
Owen has also decided that for Halloween this year, he would like to be "Princess Pea" from the show called Super Why. Aidan wants to be Super Why, so Owen has decided, that, naturally, he will be Princess Pea (another Super Why character). I asked if he knows Princess Pea is a girl. He said, "Yes mommy, I will pretend that I am a girl!" I love this boys comfort in his skin... at the same time, really? Do I buy him a princess gown for Halloween??
awww :) i love this! i think if i were you, i'd show him the princess pea costume as well as wonder pig, if it's important to him to stay in the super why theme. if he still chooses pea's gown, i'd go with it, unless you think aidan might razz him about being in a dress. elise wanted to be pablo for halloween when she was 2, and we went with it. i love that kids don't care about boy stuff vs. girl stuff at this age, so i encourage it. good luck. :)
