Double Happiness

I enjoyed the beautiful weather we had this Halloween

and the look of a new costume for Artist–this time, one we made ourselves.

He likes the idea of Halloween, but in the costume-idea department he’s always wanted to be something simple and uniform-y. A race car driver sufficed for three years, then an army uniform.   And up to now, the costumes were cheap.  I just bought the next size up at half-price and it was fine for us both.  But this year I wanted to get crafty and make something different.  I covered a Burger King type crown with black tissue paper and photos of jewels from a magazine,  draped a beautiful length of blue batik cloth over his shoulder, some costume jewelry and voila—–he was Prince Artist the 2nd.

(he was okay with everything except wearing an earring.)

The prayerful pose was also his–

maybe he was channelling a prince from an enlightened monarchy.

I am so happy that there are signs that he is becoming more flexible and open to trying some new things.

Even though the usual verbal answer is noncommittal, he’s at least giving it a try.

New things, one at a time.  And that’s all that I ask.

Happy Halloween.
