Halloween Preschool Style
As I watched my son and his classmates celebrate Halloween at the Lawrence Arts Center Preschool today, I realized that 4 years old may be the perfect age to enjoy this holiday to its fullest. There is a certain blurring of reality and make-believe with this age group that makes the act of dressing up go beyond the mere act of wearing a costume and ventures into becoming someone or something else entirely.As each child in class got up to speak about his or her character, there was sheer joy in each face as they revealed their true identities. A boy dressed as Harry Potter took off his glasses and said, "it's really me!"My own little Prince Caspian, who usually has a wild and spirited temperament (i.e. euphemism for being a few steps from rowdy) was remarkably regal and dignified in his costume. He stood a little straighter and walked with a little more grace in his full princely wardrobe... that is until a smile broke loose and the excitement of the holiday took over.Wishing everyone a happy halloween!

Delightful! Great photographs too. It's never too late to have a happy childhood, so I hope we adults will have as much fun as the children tonight. I have my broomstick all ready to go.

It was fun seeing all kinds of odd little creatures in cars going the other direction today. Halloween parties are the best.
