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!"
