After Ben’s nap today it was still raining so I had to think of something clever. Recently we introduced him to Peter Pan and he loves it. Granted he hasn’t watched the movie in its entirety but what he has watched he likes. I decided to dress him up as Captain Hook. Ok, so he is the bad guy but Peter Pan was a little too difficult and the fairy was definitely OUT. Hook was the way to go. I gave him a mustache, a tattoo, a silver paper hook, an eye patch and a pirate hat (that kept falling off). It took him all of 2 seconds to get into character. He marched around here for a good hour saying, “Argh!”. It was quite cute. I wanted to get a great picture of him but he has denied me ANY pictures for months now. I was able to snap this one which I happen to think captured the Argh factor slightly. It makes me chuckle. It was really all laughs until bathtime when I took out some makeup remover.
I love this Marina! Congrats on making his day today!
Thanks Melissa. It is nice to hear that kind of compliment coming from such a great Mom like you.
I definitely did make his day and it felt awesome!
My son regularly wears pirate pants, a life vest and his sister’s tutu around the house. He would wear it to school but the life vest won’t fit in the car seat.
I should maybe strike a bargain and trade him the tutu for a curled mustache.
