Mingey Mouse

Brandon LOVES Mickey Mouse. That's an understatement. When the Micky Mouse Clubhouse cartoon is over, he is devastated!!! Crying, tantrums, etc. ensue. Poor kid. So, guess who he is for Halloween this year...? His daycare is having their Halloween party today, so we got him all dressed up this morning. He screamed the whole time I was getting him dressed (he'd rather run naked). Then Joe put him up in front of the mirror and all of a sudden he was delighted! It was awesome. I wish I had caught the initial reaction. I think he is quite happy to have become the beloved Mickey Mouse.



Here's a picture of the outfit, minus the wiggly worm who won't stand still for a picture...

I did make this all on my own. I had the basic black turtleneck and black sweat pants. I cut some old jammie bottoms for the red shorts and made buttons for the front. I cut out a tail and stuffed it and then sewed it to the shorts. (You should have seen him spinning in circles like a dog chasing his tail when he discovered it! Ha ha!) Then I made ears and attached them to a black beanie. I made the gloves and stuffed them and then sewed them to the sleeves so they would pretty much lay on top of his hands. I was quite proud of myself. Grin. I will try to get some still pictures of him in the outfit later. Grandma and Grandpa Rhees are arriving tonight, so I'm hoping maybe they will be able to help contain him a little. Ha ha!

Happy Halloween, everyone!
