The Problem with Being 2

The problem with being 2 is that everyone tells you what to do when you just want to do what YOU want to do. This morning Ella went trick or treating at a senior citizen center with her friend, Ali. The only problem was that Ella REFUSED to wear her costume, which I had to hide when I got it out a few weeks ago because she wanted to wear it then. So I gave her a choice of the pumpkin shirt with a skirt or the "piddy dress" as she called it. She chose the shirt/skirt combo. Sigh.


I sent her costume along with Ali's mom just in case Ella changed her mind. Sure enough, she came home wearing the costume. Unfortunately, she was not in to getting her picture taken at that point. She took off the ears and I didn't paint whiskers or a nose on her, but you get the idea.
