I was putting pressure on myself to have the perfect Halloween costume for Sloane. My thinking was that next year Sloane will decide what she wants to be and this year was my last chance to have control. But I took too long- I couldn’t find the pieces for an ewok or Shirely Temple. Then Sloane and I were at the store and I found a tutu on super sale. It had a peacock on the front, so we headed to the boa section to finish the look. Once I saw Sloane’s reaction, I knew this was her costume.

Then her reaction after I made her headpiece was also amazing.

The end result was half peacock half flapper! She was a rockstar. We went over to the Wades house so Maera and Sloane could trick or treat together. They had so much fun and tried to go into the first house. Sloane did not actually say trick or treat, but she did say thank you! We haven’t clued her into what candy is, so she thought it was crinkly toy. I did guide her toward selecting candy I liked!
