Christmas Program Costume

Planning for a costume for one of Andre's school program adds up to my stress level...(because its on top of the stress i get from work) especially if his costume requires me to buy something that will not be of use in the future or not be used at all. But once I have everything figured out and start prepping for it.. i'm full speed ahead..and I have to admit that I enjoy doing kindergarten crafts.

For their Christmas Program last December 14, the kids were required to dress up like peter pan and fairies..and that's not all.. Andre was given another role as one of the 3 kings for their Nativity production number.. No problem with dressing up like peter pan because his holloween costume back when he was 1 year old still fits him.. even if the long pants is now a short pants (hehe!)...My concern was for his role as a KING!

Good thing I have colleagues who have kids who have been there and done that.. and so when i got an advise to get him a red bath robe.. it was like a light bulb popping to my head.. which is actually a great idea since he can use it after and not go to waste...but when we got to the mall, no red robe for kids.. what I saw was a red  bath cover for women which is used to wrap around  and cover your body (under the armpits) after you get out of a shower... This inspired me to use it as a cape. I made him wear the knickers he wore at Liz's wedding as his inner clothes. And of course i made the King's crown.. that turned out nicely even if I was so sleepy when I was making it.

the finish product: a KING's Crown

All those stress are forgotten as soon as I see my son (in peter pan and king's costume) performing in center stage with his classmates. So proud of him!
