The week before Halloween, Jillian's school had fun dress-up days! For each day, the children were not required to wear their uniforms and could choose to dress up. Since Jillian only goes to school 3 days a week, she was able to participate in special color day (her room did BLUE), animal day and fireman dress up day. On animal day, since it is so hot here, we chose to limit her costume to headband ears. That morning I laid out her choices on the trampoline (Thanks Luke!) and let her choose. As soon as she started looking, I thought why did I include the antlers? And I was silently sending her the message...don't choose the antlers! Of course, she chose the antlers, the only option that was a happy meal toy from years ago. I thought some of the others were cuter, but it was her choice. Her teacher said she was a cute reindeer all day long!
On Thursday, Firemen visited the school to show the children their truck, fire hose and gear. They talked about fire safety and what to do in case of a fire. Jillian wore her fireman hat all morning....at home playing in the garage before school, in the car on the way to school and all the way up to her classroom. We walked into her room, she took off her hat, and refused to wear it any more that day.

I LOVE Jillian's expression on her face when she is being a reindeer! Her personality really comes through, man we miss her!
Aren't kids funny? Wearing her firemans hat everywhere except to where she is supposed to wear it! ;) Kids kind of reming me of cats that way...you can never be sure what they'll do--and somehow the more we seem to want them to do something, the odds are they won't want to do it!
I couldn't wait to finally take my kids to Disneyland and get pictures of them with the characters--when we got there, they wanted nothing to do with the characters!( which was really alright). I'm also proud of you Jen letting her pick (even though it wasn't what you would have picked! You are such a good Mom!
Love you guys!
JOY
