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.

In the viral post, Henson wrote, "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. He also wants me to be Anna. Game on."
