"A pink pig."
This was really surprising to us, because there are so many things that she is completely obsessed with, and pigs are not one of them. She does love pink, though, and we soon realized that she may have gleaned the pig idea from one of her favorite books, Cars, Trucks and Things That Go, in which a family of pigs travel to the beach and encounter every conceivable kind of vehicle. Who wouldn't want to be a pig who drives by a pickle-mobile, after all?
Regardless of her inspiration, her commitment to the pink pig costume did not wane, and today she got to wear it in all her glory to a Halloween party at one of her preschool friend's house, then for trick-or-treating. It proved to be a unique and highly complimented choice (Comments like, "Oh, what a sweet little pig!" and the like were said over and over by candy distributors, which may have improved EJ's quality of loot). In fact, we didn't see any other piglets out on the street tonight, and there were literally hundreds of kids on Harper Avenue in Hyde Park for the annual all-out bash (described in detail by me last year.) Happily for us, the hot pink costume stood out in the dark as well as her bright orange pumpkin worn last year, which helped us keep track of her as she forged ahead on her candy-candy-candy quest.
Please enjoy the documentation of this cuteness.
