It's that time of year again...Halloween. What am I gonna be? What am I gonna wear? What are all my friends dressing up as? Where are we gonna go trick-r-treating this year and with who? These are the questions I get asked every year since my daughter was about 5 yrs. old. She was so undecided at the beginning of October, undecided until about a week before the big 31st! We went shopping for a cheerleader costume and stubbled upon this "Groovy" costume instead and of course she HAD to have it. It turned out very cute and VERY short. I thought maybe her father might freak due to the length, but he never spoke a word...at least to me. So we bought the costume, colored eyelashes, and a peace sign sticker for her face, and bam....here she is looking like a 16 yr. old instead of a 10 yr old child. I have to admit, she does look beautiful and she strutted her stuff that chilly Saturday night like she was the "it" girl....and to me she was!! Even though in the beginning, I would try to ignore her question after question about what costume she was going to buy...I now know that I will miss the questions. I'll miss them since I know this year is probably the last year for her to really dress up and go door to door. She's growing up and I theres nothing I can do to stop it. All I do now is take in all her childhood moments and know now not to take anything for granite...even if she bugs the crap out of me!!
I will always love you Cam-bug,
mommy
