Practical & Conscientious Parenting
Fairies and other tiny animals
Yesterday was “Dress up like your favorite book character” day at Mehalia’s school, in honor of Dr. Suess’s birthday. Unfortunately she was home with headlice, but she had her costume all picked out and wore it for the day anyway. (The wings are of course now quarantined for two weeks in a plastic bag with the headband and necklace, next to another bag with all her stuffed animal friends that sleep with her.) Her character is Bella the Bunny Fairy, with her bunny Misty. I’m hoping she’ll wear it again for the Procession of the Species parade on Earth Day. 
She looks great! That’s too bad she missed out – and that she’s dealing with headlice! I love the look she’s giving in the second picture – like ‘do we have to take another picture?’
