Son to Daughter: A Mother's Day Special Gift

Thoughts raced through my head when I first discovered my teen son, Connor, was crossdressing. He was embarrassed, but I encouraged him by letting him know it was okay and even started buying him girl clothes. Something about shopping for him enticed me, filling the void I had since he was my only child and I always wanted a daughter. Mother’s Day that year changed my and, more importantly, my son’s life forever. Being a nice boy and more comfortable with crossdressing, he decided to go to a salon, got a manicure, and told me he would give me the gift I really wanted for the holiday. A day with a daughter! Mother’s Day was only the start as we both decided it would be fun to experience all parts of raising him as a girl, from the very beginning. Going from a diapered baby that loves her stuffed animals, to pre-teen ballerina that wears only the cutest tutus, and then having a princess themed Sweet Sixteen for “Caitlyn.”
