Birthday Loot

Last night, after a dinner at Stone Hearth Pizza, Madeleine got to open her birthday presents.  Among her loot was a Barbie Halloween witch:

My Little Pony Fluttershy and her Magic Treehouse:

As well as a Tinkerbell tutu and wings from Aunt Sarah and Uncle Dave.  Madeleine insisted on immediately stripping down and trying it on.  Unimpeded by the fact that the costume is *literally* just a tutu and strap-on wings, she pranced around the house in wild ecstasy with what she refers to as her "nubles" showing:

All I can say is it's a gooood thing we already bought her Halloween witch costume, so she's not tempted to be Tinkerbell for Halloween.  There's no way we could let her out trick-or-treating like this.

I guess Barbie Witch was jealous of Madeleine's stylish look, because this morning she decided to follow suit:

Madeleine opted for a more modest approach to her Tinkerbell outfit this afternoon, after making the following, staggeringly acute observation:  "Mommy, the Tinkerbell costume is a TINKERBELL COSTUME!"
 
WOW.  Really?

She then announced, "But...it doesn't have something for...for...for...to cover your BELLY."

I helped her get past this hurdle by suggesting she keep her regular shirt on, and behold, we now have a much more appropriately-dressed Tinkerbell fairy, hopping with leaden, elephantine feet all around the house:

Whew.  Glad I was deft enough to help her come up with that solution.  She really threw a stumper at me when she told me her Tinkerbell costume is a Tinkerbell costume.
