Happy Halloween Everyone!
About a month back....actually couple of months back, I asked Aanya, so what do you want to be on Halloween this year...Batman, Superman, Princess, Bumble bee, Witch or anythings else? 3 years is I guess too young an age, to be consistent on ones choice, esp when there are hundred's of costumes to pick from.
So one day, it was Superheros, because she saw boys in her school wearing superheros T shirt everyday and she found it really cool and empowering.
Later, it was Curious George, because she was following the monkey's episodes and found it quite funny.
After few days, it was Snow White, because I was reading the story of Snow white to her day in and day out, until she memorized it ;-)
and then it was Bumble bee, as her teacher taught her the bumble bee nursery rhyme and she liked it.
As the days were nearing, I asked her again, to decide on ONE costume. She can't be all of them. And finally after much serious thinking, she said "BUDDY". She wanted to be Buddy, the Dinosaur.
So, it was final. I needed to organize that costume for her.
The costume was purchased and she even had dress rehearsal a few times before Halloween, smilingly, happily, excitedly. And now we waited for Halloween eagerly.
Today....The Halloween Day! Aanya turned into a Dinosaur, ready to scare and eat everyone who comes her way ;-)
When she reached her school, as I opened the door, her friends came running towards her and said
"Wow! It’s Buddy from Dinosaur Train." And underneath the head where no one could see, Aanya smiled. She was happy.
And that's when I realized, Costumes are about more than the fabric they’re made of. Don't you think so?
