Paul Henson is a young dad from Chesapeake, Virginia, who just wants to let his kid be a kid for as long as possible. He and his son, Caiden, started what could be the arduous process of Halloween costume shopping, but it seems Caiden is a little guy who knows what he wants. Caiden's wish is to be Elsa from the Disney animated film "Frozen." And, in good dad fashion, Henson is letting his son express himself.
