Halloween approaches and today we started the festivities early by carving pumpkins and acquiring a new costume for the Little Baby. She already has an elaborate fancy Cinderella dress but we have added to the repertoire my personal favorite princess ...
Wonder Woman!I am, of course, very pleased that Diana of Themyscira has entered the pantheon of princesses role played at our house. We were already fans of the theme song ("Fighting for your rights / In your satin tights ...") and now All Hallow's Eve shall be kept safe for truth, justice and equality. I was briefly very excited when I found out there was a recent direct-to-DVD animated Wonder Woman movie. Unfortunately, though it may present a strong female role model and inspiration, it includes entirely too many scenes of decapitation (which is to say 'one') to watch with a four-year-old. But better that Wonder Woman be an empty page upon which to project anyway.
I couldn't resist watching some clips from the old show with her though - and she's already got the spin down pat!
