Kendra, 20, and Joseph, 24, posted this cute pic of Garrett, 11 months, playing with a twig.
“He’s such a boy?,” they captioned the photo. “Some of his favorite toys are found outside? That little twig entertained him for longer than his toys normally do!”
While fans agreed that the pic was adorable, they were less thrilled about the caption.
“Liking outside things is not a ‘boy’ thing, it’s a thing that lots of kids of all genders like. Why do folks have to so aggressively gender their children? It only does damage by forcing kids into restrictive boxes,” one follower commented.
“Hey, now. I'm a girl and I spent MANY days playing outside in the dirt and with twigs. Anyway, your son is adorable!?,” said another.
Whether he plays with toys or sticks, Garrett will have a buddy to play with soon! Kendra and Joseph are expecting their second child.
