Am I the only one?

Who allows their child leave the house in a costume? 

Dress up is part of our daily play.  Somedays I can't call her "Katie." Like yesterday, she'd only answer to "Captian Feathersword" and called me "Dorothy" all day. 

Today we went to the library as a nurse and "mowed" the lawn as Alice in Wonderland.  (We got our www.buycostumes.com order in.  lol) We get some looks, but you're only 2 once!

Well, Paige just went to the ice cream truck in her panties so......at least Katie has clothes on!....lol

I agree!  They are only two once!  Let them be! 

 FYI - Paige busted out of the house she doesn't normally get to go outside in just panties!  But I would allow a costum if she wants!  Sometimes she doesn't want out of her pj's so we go to the store in them!

Is it bad that DD doesn't have any dress-up clothes? I don't even know where to get them.

I won't let her leave the house in a tutu, which is the only costume-y thing that we have, but I did let her fly on the airplane wearing a crown.

However, DD is a different character every day and I get rebuked if I call her Dana instead of ____. (Today she was "the other little girl Dana who's not your kid.")

Olivia doesn't really have any costumes.  I have a few items that she could play dress up but she doesn't seem interested.

 I think katie is adorable!

Eva went to the grocery store today with bunny ears on.  You are definitely not alone!

DD doesn't have any costumes, either.  But that's not to say that I wouldn't let her wear a costume if she had one to wear.  When we shop I usually let her tell me what she likes and costumes never end up on her list of "I wants..."  My BFF's sister let's her daughters (ages 6 and 4) wear what they want every day.  Don't think they have any costumes either but pajama tops with track suit pants and flip flops are a frequent combination! LOL I love it--I think it creates a strong sense of self which hopefully means they'll be less likely to succumb to peer pressure during the dreaded teenage years.

This pic makes me smile do you have the box of dress up clothes? DD likes to mix and match too.

Griffin wears his rain boots ALL THE TIME - i let him wear them as long as he's not going somewhere that he'll be running a lot (like school) b/c he tends to be clumsy in them.... he has a pair of froggy boots, firefighter boots and buzz lightyear boots- so he changes them with his moods.

i think it's awesome.

No! My daughter leaves the house in a princess costume almost daily.

 This made me smile. My two girls (3 on the 4th of July and 4) are out of town visiting their Nana & Papa's for the week. I'm enjoying a little bit more freedom this week (and actually getting things done!) but the above sounds so much like them that it makes me miss them!  They love, love, love, LOVE to play dress up.  I pretty much give them free reign to pick out their clothes (with maybe a little guidance if we're leaving the house) but they come up with the craziest outfits. They do have dress up clothes, but by far their craziest outfits are their real clothes that are put together, ah, rather uniquely. Tutu on your head anyone? ("I'm getting married, Mama!")
