Our Rose Princess' first Halloween
Julia had a very successful Halloween and I am over the doll thing. Well, almost. She wore her costume on Saturday to Chinese school and has been wanting to put it on every day since then. We almost had trouble getting her dressed for school yesterday but Julia gave in and put in a regular dress and tights with just a ballerina skirt underneath the dress.
Around dinner time, we picked up ShaDiamon who wanted to trick or treat with us and had some pizza for dinner. Then, we went upstairs to get dressed! Such joy you have never, ever seen. Julia wore her Rose Princess dress and ShaDiamon put on the medieval dress I made for Cheshire a long time ago. The night was warm enough that the girls could wear long sleeve shirts an longjohns under their costumes and still not wear coats. David and I took turns walking with the girls and staying home to service our own Halloween visitors.
Having ShaDiamon go with us was incredibly useful! And also fun. She modeled very fine Halloween behavior and Julia followed right along, She tried saying Trick or Treat, she picked out the appropriate number of candy pieces, or opened her bag to let the grownup put candy in it, she also said thank you, and also said bye-bye many times to each person. Julia also loved commenting on the costumes she saw with "beautiful" and "wonderful" being her most frequent comments.
And the candy! Julia had a little candy last night and we put her bag on top of the frig. I’ve told her she can have a piece as a dessert tody. We’ll see if she is able to pick out just a piece at a time to eat. And if she is willing to share with her parents.
We let Julia sleep in her costume. She wanted to so much and there was no real reason to take it off. So the kid who prefers to wear underwear to bed work the rose princess dress, long slever shirt, long johns, and socks. She is still in those things today and I am happy that we have no school today. She will need a bath tonight – and I insist that she takes baths totally naked.
