He also dresses up with a girls wig.

Buy him a doll. If it bothers you that much, buy him "boy" dolls - Ken, GI Joe, etc. Even baby dolls often come as boys.
But don't worry, you grandson is normal. You'll only make things worse by ignoring his wishes.
He'll feel like who he is is "wrong."

He's just finding himself. He is learning the difference between boys and girls, and to try to stop him from that is just going to confuse him more. He is figuring out an aspect of life that all children try to find, and this is just his way of find out how boys and girls are different. If he dresses in a wig, he will eventually realize that most boys don't have long hair, and stop wearing it. If he wants dolls, then get him the dolls. If he plays with them, then that may just mean he might be a good Daddy one day =D I wouldn't be concerned. He's just learning! All kids do it, so I would just get him the dolls. He isn't old enough to understand sexuality and the difference between women and men, or crossdressing or certain toys, if he was 15, then maybe I would question it, but either way you have to accept him for who he is or he may resent it if he remembers later in life that he was scolded just for wanting to play with a doll! He's only 5 so I guess the best thing to do is, don't worry!

first of all where did he get the wig? toss it away when he goes to bed and that will end that problem...
as for the dolls, he could get some boy dolls from American Girl..and learn to be the daddy...
my youngest son and his sister played mommy and daddy all the time...and they had shopping carts and came shopping with them and the coupons they cut out from the paper of things that would fit in their carts...it was great teaching them...

Get him a doll. I bought my son a doll last year when I was pregnant (He was 18 months old) so he could get used to holding and "Feeding" it. He is 3 now and he still carries it around once in a while.

Geez. Let the kid play with dolls if that's what he wants. He's 5. Don't stereotype him into being gay because at 5 he wants to use dolls to reenact what he thinks life will be like as an adult. That's all kids do with dolls.

Buy him a doll.
Your grandson hasn't got a clue that it's not boy-appropriate. And odds are it's a phase he'll pass right through.
Then you can smile at all the funny pictures of him in wigs and threaten to show them to his basketball teammates. ;)

Is he around girls/women more.
My son used to try to put my makeup on...and carry his sister's barbies around.
My hubby took him in and had him "shave" with him...
He's 18 now and ALL boy!
Don't make too big of a deal out of it.
Things are not so male vs. female these days. Too bad.
Good luck!

Does it really matter? He is a child. If you are worried that he is going to be gay, then get out of his life now, instead of waiting until he is old enough to understand that you will think of him as a "freak of nature". If you really love him, does it matter what he becomes as long as he is happy and healthy?

Get him a doll. You'll be helping him become a loving and caring father when he grows up.
