Anna loves asking somebody what they want to be for Halloween. However, when we asked her, she came up with a different answer every time. It went like this: Kangaroo, Elephant, Octopus (at this point I stopped researching costumes on ebay!), Ghost, Duck, Robot (that was on the day we made Robot1.0). I soon realised that since Anna kept changing her mind, it didn't matter what she was going to be and so I decided she could wear Jakob's old Winnie the Pooh costume, or Grandma's chicken riding costume. Jakob thought I was a terrible mother not letting her be (I think it was a Ghost at this point) what she wanted to be. I tried to explain my wisdom. Anyways, on the Sunday before Halloween we asked our sunbeam class what they were going to be for Halloween and when it was Anna's turn she announced "Unicorn". Just one more to add to the list, I thought. Then later at dinner time Anna said Unicorn again. And on Monday she said Unicorn, and on Tuesday she said Unicorn. Uh-Oh!
Well, since Anna had now apparantly made a selection, I relented and checked Craigslist and found a unicorn costume, the right size, for $2, and only 10 minutes away. But just to prove my point that I was right all along, as soon as Jarod left to go buy the unicorn costume, Anna said "But I don't want to be a unicorn, I want to be an Elephant". My simple response was "YOU ARE GOING TO BE A UNICORN... OR WINNIE THE POOH OR RIDING A CHICKEN!!!"
She was a unicorn. In fact she was a white unicorn for the carnival and Preschool party and then for Trick or Treat she was a much cuter pink and white unicorn that we borrowed from another preschool mom.
Oh, and if you are wondering why Anna suddenly settled upon the choice of Unicorn, check out the Preschool Buddies post!
