Julie is obsessed with the movie Annie, her favorite version is the classic 1982 edition, but she enjoyed the newest Annie as well. She asked if she could cosplay as Annie at San Diego Comic Con this year, and I thought that was a great idea.
We did a little photoshoot, once her new dress arrived from Etsy (shop thecostumebootique.)
Roger wasn't the most cooperative Sandy, but the pictures are still cute!
This is a beautiful pattern that I found on Ravelry, by Douglas Hill. The yarn I used is Malabrigo Yarn which I purchased at my local yarn store. It is absolutely stunning, pure Superwash Merino wool. The finished shawl is now available in my shop!
Everyone thinks they have the greatest kids ever, but I have evidence. Observe.
She preformed Shakespeare on stage. At age four. In front of a huge crowd and while holding a microphone nearly as big as she was.
She cosplayed as Batgirl at the San Diego Comic Con, and got to be on TV with Wonderwoman and the Ninja Turtles.
She gets in trouble in school quite often, which isn't something to be proud of generally, but her list of misdeeds is kind of hilarious.
Let's start with Kindergarten, the first week:
"Acting like a tiger during circle time."
"Refusing to sit in the chair with her name on it." She had a good logical explanation for this one. "Well, Monday I wanted to sit by the window because it was a lovely day. Tuesday, I wanted to sit with my friend Laura. Wednesday I wanted to sit in the front to see if our seeds were sprouting." and so on.
Currently, she is in second grade. So far her list of transgressions looks like this:
Singing during writing time.
Singing in the bathroom "so all the classrooms could hear her."
Standing on her chair "so the whole class could see her."
Changing the settings on the computers.
And so on. I feel sympathy for her teacher who keeps gamely finishing these notes with "but I am sure she is going to make better choices in the future!" but my kid is a live wire.
She goes on every scary ride that she is tall enough for, and manages to make it even more thrilling.
Her sense of style is impeccable.
Rainbow unicorn hat, check. Sunglasses, fairy wand, check and check. Necklace, bracelet, miss-matched socks? Check, check, check.
And finally, she will always march to the beat of her own drum, especially when there is music. As evidenced by this clip of her "playing football". She is the kid rocking her heart out.
