Remember this blog post from last year? How it took me roughly 18 days to convince my child to even let her monkey costume be in the same room as her, let alone put it on? And even then, I measured success by the fact that she would only put the pants on, still screaming in terror when the monkey jacket came out of the bag?
I know. The bar was set pretty low.
And what a difference a year makes.
This is the year that holidays have truly clicked with Zoey. As in, last year's trick-or-treating experience was fun, but still her attitude remained one of "eh, I could live without this". Not so much this year! Racing around my auntie's neighborhood with my chicken-costume-clad cousin, collecting candy from random strangers and shrieking "I'M A BALLERINA!" every time
someone opens a door? Totally in to it. What you don't see in the photo from this year is the fact that Zoey flat-out refused to wear the ballet slippers my sister picked up at a garage sale for her, opting instead for the use of her more practical rain boots.
Totally adorable.
Christmas this year is going to be a blast.

I know! So into it this year! I am really looking forward to Christmas too.
Those monkey feet look just like Camper's monkey feet! I think that costume is a classic. But I heart your little ballerina. The tutus in Old Navy this year made my uterus hurt.
