Preschool Halloween Parade

So Bailey had been telling me for months that she wanted to be Sleeping Beauty for Halloween because she wanted to wear her pink princess dress because she loves pink. Perfect! We already had the dress from Aunt Pat. All I had to do was buy a pink dress for Hazel so she didn't get upset...cue Costco and the Minnie Mouse dress and Halloween was done.

Then, about two weeks before Halloween, about the time I return home from the hospital with a newborn baby, Bailey begins insisting that she wants to be Superman for Halloween. I am baffled. I had no idea she even knew who Superman was. Sam and I look at each other and shrug every time she announces to someone that she is in fact going to be Superman for Halloween (so she can fly to the moon - said in a superhero voice). The day before Halloween (the night of the ward's trunk or treat and the Med School Party) Sam finally caves and heads to wal mart to search for a superman costume. He finds a girl version (a pink leotard and tu-tu with the infamous S) and a boy version (pajamas with a cape). She picks the boy version and he returns home with an elated little girl. 

The next morning, before preschool, I made one last attempt to get her to wear her princess costume. She kindly turned me down as she was pulling on her superman pajamas; so this is what we got to drop off at school this morning...

We all piled into the car so we could watch the parade. Hazel had a great time looking and squealing at the baby as we waited.

 And then the all school parade started and we patiently waited for Bails to arrive.
Cutest little super hero ever.

 

 
She looked adorable and I am glad she has an opinion and sticks to it. I just wish we would have complied a little earlier so we could have gotten Hazel a superman costume as well. You would not believe the tantrum that ensued when she had to put on her pink dress and not superman pajamas.
