This is Benjamin, a cute little baby bear cub who loves dressing up in girly things, particularly dresses like his yellow one here. He loved his mom very much and was devastated when his mommy passed away little after he turned two. He always liked the kind of things she wore and even his mom thought so too encouraging him to be who he wanted to be.
After her passing, his daddy Bartholomew and him started going to the parent/baby classes where Mary and her son Melody going as a way to help them find friends to help them heel. At the classes, Bart was seeing his son dress up in girly dresses and wonder why he was doing so acting a bit worried about his son's behavior. Mary gave it some thought after he shared their story of his wife and her passing and thought that perhaps Ben liked dressing up in girly things not only cause he liked it, but as a way for him to cope with his mommy dying. Bart sat there and started to tear up thinking that he was a bad father for not realizing it. Mary assure him that he is not a bad father and that Ben loves him very much. Ben did see his daddy crying and waddled over to him asking "Daddy miss mommy?" Bart smiles a bit, sniffling and wiping away his tears telling him "I do miss mommy, but I'm glad you're still here with me" Little Ben smiled at his daddy as the two shared in a warm loving embrace while Mary put her paw to her heart with a warm smile tearing up at this moment too.
Sometime later, daddy would give Ben a little present, it was a lovely yellow dress and maryjane shoes similar to ones his mommy wore but in his size. Ben smiled at dad with tears in his eyes as they hugged again in a warm embrace, the little cub whispering "I love you daddy" in his ear with daddy responding "I love you too, son" showing that he too supported his little boy to dress however he wanted to if it made him happy.
