Cassidy had a halloween party at school. She wanted to wear her Tigger costume but I told her she couldn't because it was too difficult to take it off to use the potty. So I tried to convince her to wear her fairy princess costume we had bought her for this halloween.
But...
when we tried it on after we bought it a few weeks ago, one of the plastic tag connectors from the store scratched her shoulder. This lead to non-stop crying and screaming until she peeled the costume off despite my protests.
So needless to say...
all the convincing in the world couldn't get the girl back into that costume.
She insisted on wearing her Tinkerbell costume from last year which I also vetoed because of the leotard which would require full stripping for potty use. So with one FRUSTRATED mommy still talking up the fairy princess outfit, Cassidy put together a costume consisting of her pink leggings, white shirt (which we were going to wear under the fairy costume to "make sure it didn't scratch her again"), a pink tutu, and a furry pink shawl.
Well, after I realized I was the one being difficult and immature by insisting she wear the costume I picked out, I pulled out the scissors and snipped the leotard part of the Tinkerbell costume off so she could wear it like a shirt.... and wow, was my girl happy.
For Trick-Or-Treating, she wore her Tigger costume and Jeff went as Winnie the Pooh, which Cassidy thought was great fun!

| Now how many dads do you know who would dress up as Winnie the Pooh for their girl?!? |
We took to the streets in search of candy and our little girl walked over 1/2 mile going from house to house before she started to fizzle out.

As we approached her limit, she alternated saying "Let's go home..." and "Just one more house" until finally she said "Pick me up please" and home we went.
