When I had thought about the upcoming Halloween holiday I
was initially thinking that we just wouldn’t celebrate it and Josephine
wouldn’t have her first Halloween. In Paris it’s not really celebrated so there
aren’t a ton of activities to take Josephine to, let alone trick or treating
(eventhough at almost 1 year old she wouldn’t really get much out of that
anyways). In any case, I was thinking that we would have to just skip Halloween
this year.
Then it so happened that we had scheduled to host a play
date with two of our friends on November 1. And Nate kept asking about if we
should get Josephine a Halloween costume. So I had the idea of making the play
date a Halloween play date. The other couples were on board and so with a
search through amazon.co.uk we found a little ladybug costume for Josephine.
It actually turned out to be a great way to celebrate
Halloween. The other couples are American (or mostly with one of the girls
being from the UK) and so they of course appreciated the holiday like us.
Anyways, it was a good time and I’m so glad we didn’t skip it. It was fun
dressing Josephine up and she was actually quite cooperative with her costume.
She didn’t even protest when we put the little hat part of her costume on
her. I think she was just trying to
figure out what was going on. It’s hard to say for sure but I think she had a
good time as well. A ladybug, a dragon and a Miami dolphin. What a cute bunch!
