Wednesday, Brady and I went to the library for dress up story time. Usually story time is broken up among the age groups: 3-24 months (baby), 2-3 year olds (toddler), and 4-6 year olds (preschoolers) but today everyone was there for dress up story time at the same time. The librarians counted 50 kids! The songs and stories were all Halloween themed and really cute. Brady behind the librarians watching everyone and playing with their note cards. She’s really into pumpkins right now and their construction paper story that turned into a jack-o-lantern was a big hit.
Brady’s Princess Leia costume was so big on her last year I figured it’d still fit her this year and it did. With one extra piece of velcro in the back. I told her the Leia hair/wig was a hat and she kept it on a lot more than I thought she would. Only a few people could figure out who she was dressed up as and even then they were asking how to pronounce Leia. She was definitely an original amongst the princesses (although she was a space princess), witches, fairies, and superheroes.
After story time all of the kids got in line and paraded around the shopping center the library’s in and trick-or-treated from the businesses. She ended up with about 10 pieces of candy, a shampoo sample, and a marker coloring thing. The people handing out candy were a little misinformed as to what babies can eat and were giving her gobstoppers versus other candies. She only ended up being able to eat two pieces of chocolate from what she received including trying to eat a Crunch bar through the wrapper. It was still really cute and I can definitely see us doing it again next year!
How could they not know who she was?! So cute!
