Ariel

Jordyn had quite the time picking out her halloween costume this year. Her first costume was bought on August 24th. She saw it at the Childrens Place. It was a black cat. I made a deal with her. We could get it, but we could not take the tags off. (Reminding her that there were still 2 months until halloween. She was going to see a lot more costumes). About 2 weeks later, we were at the Childrens Place again (they have so many good deals there), she saw a princess costume. "Oh, Mom, this is what I have always wanted to be". I had her think about it and I told her the next time we went to the mall we could exchange the costumes if she really wanted to be the princess. Sure enough we exchanged it. A few days later we were at Target shopping for a birthday gift. We were in the dress-up isle. She saw this little mermaid dress. "Oh, Mom, I have always wanted to be Ariel". (Are you kidding me)!!!! So, to make a long discussion short, we got Ariel and took the tags off when we got home. No more changing our mind this year. She then says, "you know, if I see Barbie Mermaidia, that is what I have always wanted to be". I said, "that will be a great idea for next year". Holy cow, 4-year-olds!!!
