Today was our first Halloween out with Maya. As she's been sick most of the week, we didn't want to take her outside so we just went to the mall for a little while around dinner time. I tried to dress up but Maya was frightened by any part of my costume so John and I just ended up wearing all black and I had my pumpkin earrings on. Maya was also frightened by the pumpkin, my gloves, her feet (more on that shortly) and many other things. It was such an unusual experience for her, and she's been sick this week, so we're not surprised that she was frightened.
This year's costume was a home-made chicken outfit. My sister made the costume years ago and both of her daughters wore it when they were the same age. Now, it was Maya's turn. The hood, the feathered-jacket and the leggings didn't bother her but the cardboard cutout feet were too much. She did, eventually, get used to them but only after a lot of distraction.
As usual, Maya got a lot of attention and the costume was a great success...
