As Halloween approached, I began interrogating Sophie on what she wanted to be. She changed her mind every couple of days until she settled on being a kangaroo. I figured this too would pass, but she became insistent. One day in the car, I was telling Justin I wasn't sure exactly how to make a kangaroo costume. Sophie was quiet in the back seat until she tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a piece of paper. She said, "Mom this is a blueprint for my kangaroo costume, follow it carefully."
