Zip it!

I don't even want to hear it, from anybody!

For those of you who were around last Halloween, you know what an emotional time it was for me. The hunt for a Halloween Costume was really hard for me. Most people don't sit back and think about the little details of Addie's condition...
Most Halloween Costumes come with hoods or hats. Most hoods and hats don't fit Addie, so the average costume doesn't work for her. Last year, I found the perfect little costume at Gymboree. It had an elastic headband that fit perfectly! This year, I was on the hunt for a monkey costume. Every costume I found had a hood attached - of course. Addie is too young to paint her face to make up for not having the hood on, so I started thinking of plan B. I was hoping to find a really girlie monkey costume with a tutu, but of course that didn't happen. However, I did find THE PERFECT COSTUME and ordered it today. It does not have a hood or hat with it and I think it will be so fitting for Addie. Prior to Addie, I would have rolled my eyes at the people who spent an outrageous amount of money on a Halloween Costume, but I want so desperately for Addie to fit in that I am willing to pay whatever I have to in order to have her not stand out any more than she does.
Last year I caved a few days before Halloween and posted pictures, I wouldn't surprise myself if I caved way before then this year. I have already emailed Kim asking to see if she is available for a Halloween photo shoot (in addition to the twenty-one month photo session we already have booked). I can't wait to see my little Chunkus dressed up this year.
Thank you to Tutu Couture for supplying Addie's costume this year! (For all you other Mommies of little girls, you can design a tutu and have them handmade and delivered within four weeks!)

If you guys were walking in my shoes, you would be just as bound and determined as I am!
