This little thing came home from school yesterday and told me she needed to dress like her hero and wear her costume to school today. She sounded a bit distressed as if it wouldn't be possible.
"Who is your Hero?", I asked.
"Well, I wrote on my paper that My Mom was my hero, but I don't know how to dress like you." She said.
Yes, my heart melted. Me, her hero? Sometimes I don't feel much like a hero.
As far as dressing like me, well, that is actually pretty easy I thought to myself. All she would need is a pair of jeans and a gray t-shirt. I have been in a bit of a rut lately.
In her little six year old mind, though, I am sure she was thinking it would be alot easier to dress like my mom if my mom just wore a cape or had a magic costume like Elasta Girl from The Incredibles.
Well, I don't have a cape and I certainly couldn't fit into Elasta Girl's Superhero Costume, but I do have aprons. And she seemed to accept that as my "costume".
After we both chose jeans and a white long sleeved shirt (the fact that her shirt was a turtle neck and my wasn't almost ruined the deal) Marg chose to wear her cupcake apron that she received at a friends birthday party, and I HAD TO PROMISE to wear one of my aprons all day long just like her. Apparently it is "Twin" day, too!
This is an apron I made a few years ago for Thanksgiving down in St. George. I dressed in color back in 2007.
Hope you have a nice day. We're wearing aprons around here. What are you wearing? :)
