It's a little hard to see this, but this is Miss A wearing her "How-ween tostume". It's supposed to be a little kid riding a horse (hence the extra, dangling legs appearing to be in stirrups). But she doesn't want to be someone riding a horse, she wants to be a horse.

And just like a little wild filly who has never been saddled, it took weeks to get her to warm up to actually wearing this giddy-up. The first time she had it on, she got cinched up a little too tight, and has been shy/spooked about it. We had to hang this thing in the living room and discuss it for two weeks. Talk about desensitization (sacking out?)! Finally, she was willing to try it again. And then what happened? You parents know this one -- we can hardly get her out of it! She's worn it each night. Pretty funny to see how she sits in her swing and manages all that extra horseflesh. Oh, and she named him "Jumper".

Wait until she realizes what happens when you wear your costume and say "Trick-or-Treat". Can you say One Trick Pony??
