This is the earliest I've ever finished a Halloween costume! E has wanted to be a "mean witch" for the past three months. I kept waiting for her mind to change, but she is my determined little woman. I'm trying every chance I can get to encourage her independent decision making (since it's such a struggle for me). To be honest, I was really releaved that she wanted to be something out of the norm from our daily enactments of princess stories and
Charlotte's Web. But, I also feared that she would change her mind as soon as I went to the effort of making a costume.
After testing her resolve in numerous ways, we finally buckled down to design/assemble her costume yesterday. I was trying to compensate for neglecting her with reading and packing. She was a great little helper. Still not sure the motivation behind her choice, but isn't she cute?!?! She wore the dress all day ; ).
