Cute in Costumes

Mothers love to see their children playing and using their imagination. Miss J. has so much fun dressing up in an assortment of costumes and we think it is so cute. In this picture, she is actually standing on a three -legged stool because the colonial dress is too long for her. I actually made this and two other colonial dresses for her three sisters in one week when she was a baby.
This is Our "Lil Orphan Annie" costume purchased for her 20 year old sister when she was in Kindergarten and taking Ballet lessons. Miss J. got the movie from Meg for Christmas and now dresses up and sings "It's a Hard Knock Life". I think we got our money's worth with this costume.



This is our Bunny costume which has been used by both boys and girls for Halloween over the years.









This is our Tiger leotard  purchased when Meg was in first grade and taking Jazz. We gave the Jazz lessons up because the lyrics in the music were not what I wanted my daughter to hear week after week but the costume has been a total success. In fact, we probably have a picture of each of the girls and younger boys wearing this one through the years.





This is Miss J.'s BFF. They have a wonderful time every time that they get together. They use their imaginations and usually put on a play complete with costumes for us to watch. 
Costumes are worth their weight in gold for the play opportunities that they provide.
