Hi. fenirose. Welcome to myLot! I think that you don't really have anything to be worried about. At your son's age he is just curious and he is learning what is what. I don't think that you have a problem here at all. At his age, he is learning how things go and how to use them. This is a normal and typical behavior for a child.

No, don't worry about it. He's only two years old, he doesn't even know there are genders yet! Wearing a wig is fun for any kid, and it doesn't matter if it's a woman's wig or a man's, and wearing grown up's shoes is the same thing. Let him play.

Hi there Fenirose! Welcome to Mylot! I do not think you need to be alarmed by our little boy's actions. Sometimes, they just like to imitate the people around them and kids can be really observant. They see how people around them looks like and of course, the reaction that they get from the actions that they make also affects their desire to do these specific actions again. I have a cousin who asks my mom to put lipstick on him when he was a kid, that is whenever he sees my mom preparing to go to work. I can say that it did not affect his gender orientation at all now that he's almost an adult.

Hi! When people are at that age they often will just play. Maybe he is a comming actor? They will experiment with stuff and find out what they like. That he is behaving like a girl don't mean he is gay or crazy. You should be proud of your son and don't think about stuff like this! There is a meaning with his born, he was the chosen one!
