That includes a young boy named Caiden, who told his dad, Paul Henson, about his plan. Henson was totally on board and posted his response on Facebook, where it has been shared several thousand times: “Keep your masculine bulls–t and slutty kids costumes,” Henson wrote. “Halloween is about children pretending to be their favorite characters. Just so happens, this week his is a princess.” Henson also noted that Caiden wants him to join in on the fun and go as Elsa’s sister, Anna, and he’s on board with that too. “It’s important for children to know that their parents will stand by them no matter what,” Henson [told ](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/this-kids-mom-and-dad-win-parents-of-the-year-for-his-halloween-costume%5F56147b3ee4b0cf9984d79fb5)the _Huffington Post_. “Why shame him for wanting to be a princess?” Henson continued. “When little girls want to be superheroes, it’s cute.
