Extra Me

The other day Gracie was talking about dressing up for Halloween, and her ideas made me laugh. She told me I could dress up as a hula dancer. I told her that being a hula dancer sounded like fun, and then asked her if she was going to dress up as a hula dancer, too. She said, "No, I just want to be extra me." Extra Gracie. I'm not sure I can handle that! :)

We don't celebrate Halloween and Gracie has never gone trick-or-treating. Her idea of dressing like a hula dancer came from Meet Molly, one of the American Girl books we read recently, in which Molly and her friends dressed up as hula dancers for Halloween. Even though we aren't going to celebrate Halloween, we still may make hula costumes like Molly and her friends did because Gracie enjoys dressing up and acting out the stories that we read. :)
