You can go your own way...

"Skunk!" 

This is the enthusaistic response I got from Annie when I asked her what animal she has choosen to be in the class play.  The theme is nature, and each child is supposed to play an animal that they might find on the school's playground (or at the fancy-pancy school we attend, the "playscape".)  I suppose there are some good things about her choice, such as the fact that a skunk is a real animal, unlike her first choice - the elusive chipmonkey.  I can also probably come up with a reasonably inexpensive and easy skunk costume.

But of course sweet Abbigail will be a robin, darling Sammy will be a little ladybug, and precious Emma will be a butterfly.  Even the boys are going to be dressing up like chipmunks and other cute little woodland animals.  But not Annie.  I just pray that she doesn't run around trying to spray people.  

Please let this be a sign that we are raising an independent, fiesty little stinker girl.
