Oh, Deer!


This week is B.E.A.R. week at school for Faith. That's Being Excited About Reading! Each day, her class does some activity to emphasize reading. Tomorrow is "come as your favorite character" day. The kids get to dress up as their favorite story-book character. Faith thought long and hard about who she wanted to dress up as. She was torn between Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer and Bambi (notice the deer theme...currently her favorite animal!). After school today, she decided she would like to go as Bambi so we got right to work creating her a costume. This is a picture of Bambi-Faith posing in front of the mirror so you can get a view of both sides of her outfit!

Side note: We checked the book, Bambi, out from the public library in Colorado once about a year ago and she has never seen the movie. She says she is going to tell the kids in her class the story as best she can remember it. :)

Great costume and great picture! Good job, mom. :) I've been scared to show my kids the Bambi movie b/c of the scary/sad factor of the fire, etc. It's been eons since I've seen it!

You are so creative. I love the costume. It is amazing what kids can remember.
