A review of Charlotte's costumes through the years

This was Charlotte's fourth Halloween, and I got all nostalgic about the Halloweens past.  It's so much fun dressing her up like a little doll.  This was probably the last year I will have been able to heavily influence her costume choice, so I'm going to savor it.

2008 -- a ladybug.  She was new to crawling and solid foods.  I'm not even sure we took her to any houses.  I think she just helped us hand out some candy.

2009 -- one half of the epic punk rock duo "Toddler Tantrum".  We probably had the most fun planning this costume.

2010 -- Ruby (from the TV show "Max & Ruby").  She understood the whole trick-or-treating process a little better that year, but she still had to be heavily coached.

2011 -- Ladybug Girl!  She babbled on and off for weeks about being a princess and I kind of just ignored her (because every other little girl on the planet chose the same costume).  One time she mentioned how much she loved Ladybug Girl and I asked her if she wanted to dress like her for Halloween.  She said "okay" and I raced out to buy the costume before she could change her mind.

What will she be next year?  Stay tuned!
