He may change from "girly" things when he gets to school age to more "boyish" things
My friends little boy had a Frozen backpack a couple of years ago at school and was still one of the most ‘popular’ kids… Men can be make-up artists, chefs, fashion designers, dancers and, of course, fathers! He may grow out of it or he may not but all you can do is be there for him and let him have fun and cultivate his own interests and hobbies… kids can be awful and often will find anything to pick on another child for (or make something up). We just have to be there if and when they do 💕
He is 2 years old he doesn’t know the difference! My son has a baby doll and he also likes boy things he is 3 years old. He doesn’t know the difference and if he sees girls playing with makeup he will also play with it! It’s just that he wants to be included and if you do your makeup then he sees you do it and wants to do it. And honestly bullying isn’t as bad as it was in the past you just have to teach him to defend himself and not let anyone bully him. But don’t have that conversation until he is in school right now he doesn’t know the difference between genders.
If he spends most of his time with you then it’s not surprising he would pick up on things you like or more feminine things. I don’t think it sounds like a concern and by the time he starts school he might have completely different interests. At his age he probably doesn’t even understand the difference between gendered stuff. If the hair thing bothers you maybe get it cut?
My youngest brother loves purple & pink, asked my mom for a unicorn onesie when he was younger he’s just turned 13 and plays lacrosse and has a ton of friends at school. Still wears pink & purple. I think (and hope) most people have been & are aiming to raise a kinder generation.
Not that it matters and I love that you’re supporting him and his interests, but this is the boy baby I got for my son. We dress him in some of my son’s preemie outfits. https://a.co/d/1McDhtK
I have a 2 year old son and he’s obviously around me 24/7 he see me do make up he does pick up my brush acts like he’s putting something on he wants to do everything mommy does even when I wash my face he wants to also. nothing wrong with self care I tell him but if he’s mostly around you I’m not surprised “girly” things baby boys are allowed to have dolls also I just wish they made them for boys to because boys like dolls and to push baby dolls around especially if they have siblings i feel like that’s an okay thing to do. He probably sees a lot of what you do color is just a thing they don’t know anything maybe he sees you have a lot of purple or pinks he doesn’t know the difference . Mom boys will understand this. I have a lot of hello kitty things and my 2 year old son loves hello kitty also but he only sees it as a cat. So I get it they just see what we are into.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with any of this, you are letting him express himself and he will always appreciate you for that. Maybe just get him a hair cut so it’s easy to differentiate his gender?
