Because it's her birthday, I let Baby Herald (I know, no longer a baby) wear her Halloween costume this morning.
Trying really hard to smile for the camera! |
For the last two months, she has insisted on being a princess for Halloween. I'd be much happier if she were wearing a Gloria Steinem or Eleanor Roosevelt costume, but she's 3. So I'm going to have to settle for a princess. And princesses need crowns and princess shoes. This is why princess moms go to H&M, Kmart, or jcpenney, because all three are good princess-gear destinations. The above tiara I found at H&M, where I also picked her up a new pair of princess shoes (below), because we grew out of our last two pairs.
This princess dress is a hand-me-down, but trust me: you're not going to have any trouble finding a princess dress, or a tutu on 34th Street. Nowadays it's totally acceptable to go out in a tutu any time of year if you're under the age of 10. Unless you're Betsey Johnson, then you can wear them every day and to bed.
Happy birthday to my Arm Baby! If she ever is Eleanor Roosevelt for Halloween, I promise to post a photo then, too. And it wouldn't be a Baby Herald birthday post if I didn't post this photo of us when she was less than a month old:

34th Street and Broadway
Kmart Penn Plaza

Oh my gosh. The cute. It hurts me. How do you live with that adorable mini human every day and not MELT!??!?!?
Thanks, Sal! Luckily the adorable mini human cries and has a piercing scream, so that helps with the melting and spoiling thing. :)
