For Claire's first three Halloweens, she was too young to really have an opinion about a costume. I just picked something cute (and as I learned after Year 1, something that could work for either 60 or 80 degree weather, and after Year 2, that did not require a head piece or hat). This year she does want some input - which is both funny and a little frustrating since at age 3, she seems to change her mind about every 37 seconds.
This morning we started talking about Halloween, and I gave her a few ideas - fairy, ice cream cone, cupcake, etc. Afterwards, our conversation went a little like this:
C: "I want to be juice."
Me: "Juice? Really?"
C: "Yes, juice."
Me: "Okaaaay..."
C: "No, I want to be chocolate milk."
Me: "Chocolate milk? Hmmm...maybe we could actually find a costume for that. And Will could be a cookie! Yeah! That would be really cute!"
C: "Yeah, chocolate milk!"
A minute later...
C: "I want to wear my pink dress for Halloween."
Me: "The one you're wearing right now?"
C: "Yes."
Me: "Well, we usually dress up for Halloween. In a costume. You can pretend to be someone or something else."
C: "I wear my pink dress. I be Claire."
Cute, but a little frustrating. :) I think we may pursue the chocolate milk idea, though.

i am sure there is a pinterest entry for that. :)
I just love that conversation! She is so funny and cute. I'm sure she will change her mind a few more times by tomorrow!
YES I always kick myself for asking too early because if I ask too far away from Halloween their answer can change a million times! Chocolate milk sounds adorable.
Too sweet! I just love it. I think that K will be an ice cream cone (again...) and P will be whatever K was when she was 2. (Poor P. No new costumes for her...)
