I feel pretty, oh so pretty

Don’t ask.

Oh well, if you really must know I’ll tell you:

This is Evan dressed up as the Virgin Mary. There is a bit of a craze for the nativity story in our house, and it seems to be living on well after Christmas. Some of the costumes are a little unorthodox to say the least and the whole thing raises my secular hackles (I hadn’t realized that I’d graduated from agnosticism to atheism until Amy came home from school talking about baby Jesus)

Still, I’ll add the photo to the “Pictures to show Evan’s first girlfriend” pile so I suppose all’s not in vain.

    Well, now you don’t have to worry about the inevitable “coming out of the closet” day. He’s out and proud.

    Wow, I hadn’t realized that Mary was also a flamenco dancer!
    Yes, I see massive embarrassment potential here for E’s later years.

    You may take small comfort in the fact that when I was that age I was horrified by the idea of being seen in girl’s clothes. Most trannies hideously overcompensate from a young age, so looks like you’ve not got a tranny. Not that that would be a bad thing… oh never mind. Just put down my incoherence to my impending transition to a daddy blogger. ;-)

    What a striking flamenco Mary he makes too. It wasn’t until the second glance I realised it was Evan and not Amy.

    According to those who (claim to) know better than I, the giant caches of Google mean that you won’t need a “show the girlfriend” pile. She’ll find it anyway, even if ATCW goes offline.

    Avitable – It doesn’t matter if he does go in the closet. Now that Christmas is over with there are no presents in there anymore anyway.

    Arjan – He may be, but I’m not

    SingleParentDad – When social services come round we all hide under the bed.

    JJ Daddy O – It’s a little known fact that she was also adept at the polka.

    Becky – I did think twice about posting this incase you were offended.

    The only reason i’d rather he didn’t grow up to be a tranny is that it would make his life harder.

    Steve -I try not to put our first names in the same post as our last names in order to reduce the chances of future google searches.

    bon bon – And to you too.

    Xbox – Yes, he’d just come out of the bath. in fact it might be our only photo of a clean Evan.

    Clair – I shall pass on your compliments.

    At this rate, there might not be a first ‘girl’friend! LOL! Just kidding, I think it is healthy for boys to play dress up too.

    Heh heh, he looks gorgeous. And I think this is testament to your being comfortable with your own and your sons sexuality. Why? Well all the Dad’s of Miss M’s friends who have dressed up as princesses and fairies at our house have been extremely uncomfortable when they saw the photos. Seriously, it is the funniest thing. :D
