My Jumping Bean is now three years old and loves to wear dresses, heels, headbands with bows, carrying purses and makeup - from nail polish to lipstick to eyeshadow. Here he is portrayed so happy after he did his own makeup - including the application of eyeshadow using three different colors and tried to do a halo look. I’m just beginning to do my eyeshadow sometimes but he’s been watching me and cuddling on my lap a few times when I’ve watched a YouTube makeup video once in a while - and He’s quickly surpassing me in his skills without a doubt. This all being said he also loves wearing his jeans and dirt stained clothes and playing for hours outside in the dirt with all of his trucks and is super into trying to figure out any sports ball and equipment out there. Growing up I so desperately wanted to watch my dad work on fixing our car, and fixing the electrical problems in our house but I was never allowed to because girls were supposed to look pretty and do all the household chores of cooking and cleaning everything. In fact anytime I tried to do anything else that was considered “boys” (including playing any video games) I was seriously beaten by him. Today I refuse to limit my son, in what he decides to wear, activities that he’s interested in trying out, nor anything else. Lucky for me M is completely on board with encouraging our son to be himself and explore the world around him. #changethenarrative
