Anyone that knows us, knows we generally let Caiden make his own choices, to an extent. Well, he has decided on a Halloween costume. He wants to be Elsa. He also wants me to be Anna. Game on.

2. SHOWING APPRECIATION FOR DISNEY ANYTHING IS GENDER FLUID! Elsa is a badass and the fact this kid wants to emulate her any way he can shouldn't be limited by the fact he has a Y chromosome.

More of this, please. WAYYYYYY more of this.
