"Happy Birthday!"

Recently Maya discovered Halloween... we went to Target for our almost daily trip (I live way too close...) anyway, while we were there, the employees were putting together the Halloween displays so we took a trip through the costumes to check them out. She wanted to know what Halloween was so Chris explained that we dress up in costumes and go to parties and go trick-or-treating. SO she wanted to know what trick-or-treating was. He told her that we go to people's houses, like our neighbor Jody's house, and knock on the door and say 'Trick or Treat' and the person who opens the door gives you something like candy or a sticker. That satisfied her and she didn't ask anything else. The next day she looked at Chris and said "I go to Jody's and go 'knock knock' and say 'Happy Birthday!". So, she got it, sort of! I'm pretty sure she was just wanting to scout out some candy.

Where is my prince?

Yesterday when we got home from our play date there was a large package from Disney waiting on our porch which contained Maya's costume for Halloween. She chose to be Snow White and we were eagerly waiting for the box to come. Maya couldn't wait to try it on! With glitter everywhere, she spun around our living room ecstatic about her dress. She couldn't wait to show Chris when he got home. After her nap, her first question was, where is my Snow White? Once again, with glitter flying all over my living room she spun around to show her daddy her new costume then stopped dead in her tracks and asked, 'where's my prince.' Gosh, I love that girl! On the other hand, the fact that she was seeking a male companion at 2 1/2 scares the bejeezes out of me!
