This year’s costume? A zebra. I bought it last year when all the costumes were on sale. It was one of the last available in Jaia’s size (or the size I thought she’d be at this time this year) and it was warm and fuzzy – my only two criteria.
A zebra wouldn’t have been my first choice – it was nowhere as adorable as the chick from last year, but I didn’t have a lot to choose from, so a zebra it was.
And then, a couple of months ago, Jaia discovered zebras. They appear often enough in children’s books, but we never really talked about zebras with her. But they grew on her. A lot. She points them out to us on tv, in books, in stores. Turns out she really likes ‘zebas’. ‘Zebas’ of all shapes and sizes.
Looks like the zebra I settled on last year was the perfect choice for my little monkey.
Auntie Jen - That last photo just made my day.
Happy Halloween Jaia!
p.s. you guys got snow??
Gen - cutest.zebra.ever.
Shannen - It snowed 2 days before Halloween but almost all signs of the white stuff were gone by the big day. The weather was actually glorious here.
And yes, I have to agree…she really was the cutest zebra ever.
