Halloween is around the corner but you’ve never needed an
excuse to play dress up or wear daily costumes.
When you arrived home this afternoon from shopping with
Mimi, you couldn’t wait to show off your new gymnastics leotard, which came
with a matching scrunchie. You ran
through the door exclaiming, “Look at how cool this is! It’s just like the ones that the Tanner
girls on Full House wear!” I
couldn’t help but chuckle as you have no idea how old those episodes of Full House
are (we DVR them from Nick at Nite and let you watch one in the morning and one
before bed as you love this show more than any other). As you continued on about the
scrunchie, you asked, “Do you know what this is?!” I wanted to say, “Of course I know what it is. I lived through the 80’s! They held back my permed hair (and I
had a thousand of them).” But
instead, I simply nodded as you excitedly told me more about them. But because you are very picky about
your hair, that scrunchie only made it on your wrist as a bracelet. And I feel like that defines your
fashion.
And speaking of your hair, I need to mention that you went
to church last week wearing a long white blonde wig. You had asked your Mimi to find you
something to make your hair long (but since you have a love hate relationship
with your hair, we keep it short).
The wig seemed to fix all of your problems.
Ellie, as I repeatedly say, I love your sense of style and
independence. You don’t notice if
people stare at you or maybe you simply don’t care (which I actually hope is
the case).
For Halloween this year, you want to be Olaf, the snowman
from Frozen. I love that you would
rather be him than the princesses.
You think outside of the box.
I hope you keep that trait!
I love you Ellie!
Mom
