You have been dressing yourself for about two years now. You have a preference for athletic clothes. I was not pushing a gendered agenda on you. In fact, I was open to your being fluid. Yet, you show a clear preference for typical "boy" everything. ;)

One of your first words was 'moon,' as I would walk you around our apartment complex up to 5x/day during your first year of life. When the moon would rise from the east, I would point it out. By 8 months old, you were pointing to it and saying, "moon."

At just over two years old, I sat you down in the kitchen of our new house and asked you if you wanted to know what your full name was. When I told you, "Cahlo Re Moon," your eyes sparkled with pride and deep knowing. You are a child of the Moon.
