But I've known many a mother who has delayed cutting her son's beautiful hair until 4 or 5.Winding Wayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022538291684795899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-29134062196385624772016-07-14T17:30:11.611-04:002016-07-14T17:30:11.611-04:00Dresses.

Infants were just clothed in non-gender specific garments, that superficially resembled those worn by adult females.<br /><br />Much as pink was never a girls colour - it was a sort of watered down red, which symbolised maleness.<br /><br />The past is a foreign country, they did things differently there. <br /><br />PaulettePaulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124802254127762626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-29473621729698377812016-07-14T02:59:06.684-04:002016-07-14T02:59:06.684-04:00Stana, talking about the baptismal gown reminded m...Stana, talking about the baptismal gown reminded me of a conversation I had with my daughter-in-law recently when we were visiting with them. She and I were discussing my letter that I had sent out to family regarding my transitioning. I told her I remembered what she had said when she was getting our grandson (now 13) ready for baptism. She said, "I promise this is the last time I will put you in a dress. From now on it will be your choice." I was standing about five feet away and biting my lip trying to keep from laughing. My wife heard it also and she was grinning looking at me.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056328036248272582noreply@blogger.com
