I've Created A Monster...Er...An Elephant


I asked him if he'd like to be a lion for Halloween.  The outfit was all figured out in my head...easy peasy.  Things didn't go as planned.  Levi's immediate response was, "No.  I wanna be an ephant."  Well, alrighty then, an 'ephant' it is.  I'll admit to a bit of cringing over this one.  In the beginning I was unsure of my 'ephant' making abilities, but I think it turned out pretty well...if I do say so myself.

Most importantly he loooooves it...as in we may be hard pressed to convince him that wearing anything else is a good idea.  He wore it all day...to the library, the park, Target.  I wish I'd remembered to bring my camera.  The 'ephant' playing in the sand is one of those snapshots in my head that I always want to remember.

Oh, and that top photo...that's pretty much how he walked around all day long.  To everyone we passed, he he proudly announced, "I have a tail!"

  1. Hilarious. I wholeheartedly admit to the likelihood of being entirely STUMPED at an ephant request.
