Dress-up

For years I've been saving a box of old costume jewelry, boas, and other odds and ends, just waiting for the day when Riley might want to engage in dress-up play. Then my parents got Riley a firefighter costume for his birthday. And it was on like Donkey Kong. Suddenly this kid is all about dress-up and story-telling.

Shortly thereafter we had over a few friends for dinner and dragged out the big box for an inaugural night of costume play. Talk about a hit!

 Meet Sophia the Wild Thing...

...Fiona the ballet dancer...




















...Neala the cowgirl...

 
...and Riley the fire chief/sophisticate. 

The following week we added old Halloween costumes to the kit, just in time for a darling playdate with his school chum, Sahra Lylah.

 It will be fun to see what we come up with next!
