  1. Great costume ideas! B has to dress up as a character for preschool and he chose Hooper Humperdink (by dr. seuss). I'm excited he thought of that and is being creative but that means I'm REALLY going to have to get creative myself. I'm trying to prepare him for nobody having read that book. =)

  2. A couple years ago we did Little Bo Peep (old flower girl dress, bonnet, and a cane covered in ribbons), and the baby dressed as a sheep. This year we're doing Little Red Riding Hood and Little Miss Muffet.

  3. I LOVE storybook character costumes! These are great!

    I dressed my toddler up as Mrs. Wishy-Washy (book of the same name) when she was about a year old.
