This dad has thrown the need to "conceal don't feel" out the castle window.

Paul Henson said that his son Caiden Henson was hell bent at being Queen Elsa for Halloween. Caiden disregarded their suggestions, his eyes set on the "Frozen" character.

The father and son went out to shop for a costume, said "yes to the dress" and of course, posted it on Facebook.

The photo has since gone viral. As of posting, the post has been shared almost 25,000 times.

"Anyone that knows us, knows we generally let Caiden make his own choices, to an extent. Well, he has decided on a Halloween costume. He wants to be Elsa," Paul wrote on his wall, along with a photo of Caiden in the dressing room, sporting the iconic turquoise dress.

Paul's post has encouraged similar stories, one of which is Emma Trevor.

"My cousin posted on my wall about you and your Son. Before i read it, i saw the picture and thought it was my own Son!!... High five to keeping it real and letting your boy dress how ever he wants too... This is Lucas, on his 5th birthday... xx," Trevor posted on Paul's wall and shared a photo of her son, also in an Elsa-inspired costume.

Facebook users have been showing their admiration and support for this Virginia-based parent in the comments section of the said photo post.

"Paul im so proud of you for being a parent and standing by your child no matter what! Stereotypes have no place in a child's life! They just want what makes them happy and you gladly oblige! Screw whatever anyone else says bc you are raising your baby right-to be accepting of the world around him and understanding that being different is ok!! Im proud of you man!!" Rahmani Orion's Mommy Shabazz replied to Caiden's photo.

"To all today's society let kids be kids!! Good on you guys . I have a little girl she likes 'boys toys' and 'girls toys' I also have a baby boy and will also let him play with 'boys and girls' toys and wear whatever costumes he wants let kids be kids. X," Liz Marie Woodcock wrote.

As any other social media post, some people have not taken too well to Paul's announcement. To that the Virginia-based dad asserts his positions and explains, "Halloween is about children pretending to be their favorite characters. Just so happens, this week he is a princess."

In case anybody wants to know what Paul is going as this Halloween—no other than Elsa's quirky sister, Anna.
