Daphne decided it was time to dress up...as a cat. I'm a firm believer in dress up clothes, masks, hats, and other things to help children use their imagination. You never know what to expect from her. Right now she is sitting in the floor beside a toy horse with a cat mask on, earlier she had a pink cowgirl hat on yelling "yee haw!" This afternoon she may put on her princess dress and crown...you really never know. The best part is you can get dress up items really cheap! The fire department gave Daphne her fire chief hat. We got her vest at the $ Tree. The cat costume and tiger costume were after halloween sales I paid $1 each. Her princess dress was a hand-me-down, but they have them at our local goodwill and at the cosignment sales we have around here that happen each season for great prices. We keep her halloween costume out whenever she wants to dress up as a butterfly (twice as nice consignment sale for $5). Her Dr coat I "made" her is a white dress shirt from the men's section at Goodwill. I cut the bottom off to the length she needed and the sleeves. Then I stitched up the back to make it fit a little better. You can do so many things at a cheap price if you take the time to look around!
