Let it go, haters. Frozen fan Caiden Henson wants to be a princess for Halloween, and his dad is totally cool with it.

Paul Henson told BuzzFeed News that despite other suggestions, Caiden was interested in only one costume this year: Queen Elsa.

When the two went shopping for the ensemble, Henson took a photo of Caiden in full Frozen glory, then posted it to Facebook with an inspirational message.

"Anyone that knows us knows we generally let Caiden make his own choices, to an extent," wrote Henson. "Well, he has decided on a Halloween costume. He wants to be Elsa."

"Halloween is about children pretending to be their favorite characters," he continued. "Just so happens, this week his is a princess."

Henson's openness has garnered much online support. Many Facebook users -- including other parents -- have left positive comments on his page.
