Batgirl
I generally try to avoid foisting my own preoccupations on my daughter, as I think such habits are a great way to guarantee her resentment when she’s older. Still, I found myself lobbying for her to dress up as Batgirl for Halloween this year, and my girlfriend indulged me.
Don’t be fooled though; this is no store-bought get-up. Laura made this costume — including the ears! — almost entirely from scratch. The only pre-fabricated item was the tights, which came from American Apparel. Yes, American Apparel makes shiny spandex tights for kids.

Between this amazingness and Leeba as dancing Spiderman. Just, joy. Little lady superheroes!

She is one adorable kid and you are one talented lady….I can’t even sew buttons back on my kids clothes.
