We figured Anna was still a little too young to get the full joy of the trick-or-treating experience this year, but knew she would like to dress up and see other little ones in their costumes, so I took her to a festival at a local church.
They had a little "bounce house", which I was fully convinced was WAY too old for Anna, and she was fully convinced of the opposite. After a few minutes of her absolutely insisting on getting in and jumping around, I let her in, knowing that 20 seconds later she would be freaked out and screaming to get out. Well, this was another lesson for Mommy that her baby is in fact growing up (whether I like it or not!). She LOVED it!! Just smiled and giggled the entire time. I finally had to pull her out because there was a line forming of other little toddlers and preschoolers that wanted a chance to jump.
She also had a great time with her buddy, Owen, who joined us for the festival. We could never get them still enough to get in the same picture together, so decided to solve that problem with the toddler clown car pictured above. Turns out these play coupes are not designed to accommodate two toddlers in full body costumes....Anna quickly came to this realization and attempted to bail out the window. Let's hope she comes up with a bit more graceful exit on dates in her future...
