Character Parade at MDO

Audrey told me a looooong time ago that she wanted to be Cinderella for Halloween and that Shelby Claire was to be her little blue bird. I thought that would be the easiest costume in the world to find so I told her- "Sure! That sounds like a great idea to me!". Um, bad idea. My little Audrey is petite for her age and we could not find a Cinderella costume anywhere that would fit her small frame. Most are for size 3-4 years and although she's 3, she is still wearing a lot of size 2's and some size 3's. So, I finally found one and cut and hacked and hemmed it up to make it work for her. She loved it and said she was "bootiful". I agree! These pictures are from her character parade and party at school.

 Here little Cinderella is parading through the church. She hadn't noticed me at this point. She was smiling and waving to everyone just as Cinderella would do!

 Artwork inside her classroom.... I wish that when I was a teacher that I would have realized how much parents are looking for their children's "stuff" to be displayed! Ha! I love seeing what she is doing!

 These two boys sitting beside her are her "best friends". She loves them and talks about them all the time! Buzz Lightyear over there is really kind to her and plays with her a lot.

My mom came up and kept Smiley for me so I could enjoy Audrey's party without tending to her at the same time. It was a good day but Audrey and I both missed Shelby Claire. When I go to Audrey's classroom, she wanted to know where her "baby" was!
