So.
Today, Zoey and I broke out the monkey costume to "practice" for the festivities tomorrow night. She's having none of it. (FYI, she refers to most animals by the noises they make, therefore, a monkey is an "ah-ah".)
"No ah-ah, Mommy! NO! NO AH-AH!!"
Great.
"But Zoey, look! It's just like a coat! AAAANNNNDDDDD, you have a BANANA in your pocket! How cool is that?!?"
"NO!"
So we went to Target to pick out a special bucket to carry her treats. She picked out a lovely Abby Cadabby basket and carried it all throughout the store. When we got home, I told her that tomorrow night she would get to carry her Abby bucket and get treats while wearing her monkey costume.
"No Abby."
As if to say, if Abby goes along with the evil ah-ah suit, she isn't worth it.
We'll keep working on it. But there's a very real possiblity that Zoey could be going trick-or-treating as an obstinate toddler. As if that's a stretch.

Good luck! She'll be adorable either way, I'm sure!
Hee, hee good luck with that. By the way I think she and Zachary have the same costume (Olivia wore it when she was their age, too, thrifty me kept it) Just have her wear a brown shirt, she will be fine. :) And when she has kids that wont wear their costume, you can pull out her pictures and laugh.
