Part of the Thou Shalt Wear the Jasmine Costume negations included a clause where Alexis would be permitted to wear her Ariel costume while we were at Disney World, just not for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. I managed to finagle that to being our last day there. In my mind, that was the PERFECT day because we would be at Epcot doing the leisurely pace thing and we would only be there for a few hours. That was important because I was convinced she would be miserable in that particular costume. It's tapered just below the knee, so the kid has a really hard time walking in it. Plus, it has a lot of layers and HAS to be hot.
I also agreed that I would princessify her hair because, well, obviously. I've known how for years, but pretend it's only possible while we're in Orlando. Anyway, I'm OK with admitting she looked pretty cute as Ariel.
In her cute state, she was all about telling me just how wrong I was that she wouldn't last in that costume. She fussed at me when she saw me stick a change of clothes in her backpack. She argued with me when I asked if she was still OK in her Ariel glory. She ripped my head off when I commented that she looked hot.
She lasted 30 minutes in the park before she admitted defeat and begged to change.
