People of the World, have you ever heard of this thing called Halloween?
Unless you’re my friend Owen who famously became Duct Tape Man in 1999 — Owen, I do not want to hear how you went to the bathroom — no one I know takes Halloween this seriously.
Until now. Until me.
Welcome to the world of New Moms Facing The First Halloween Of Their Firstborn, a.k.a. The Only Time In Ruby’s Life She Will Let You Put Any Thing Ridiculous On Her (At Least Until She Is Two).
I am beside myself with glee and trembling with anticipation at the prospect of immense cuteness befalling this house.
Please to help me choose.
“Pink Lamb”
“Lil’ Lion”
“Floppy the Bunny”
“Tom Arma Sheep”
“Tom Arma White Rabbit”
“Tom Arma Skunk”
“Tom Arma Monkey”
If you are a registered voter in the Land of Ruby, cast your vote before October 31 8. As polls of this nature usually carry a margin of error of 30 percent, I may just have to purchase all of the costumes and photograph her till Christmas.



















Top vote to the monkey – absolutely funny, although i think the Sheep one also melts hearts… and the LIon is just so CUTE!!!! The skunk is just great sense of humour. Dot, looks like you might be maxing out the credit card this month!
i like the monkey the best! hahaha.
hey, when i vote, it doesn’t appear to register my vote!
She’ll love the idea of having been a monkey when she was 9 months old!
i Say SKUNK. why be predictable and choose the cutsey ones?
when you’re a baby you dress funky like skunky in this case, you’re forgiven. Try wearing it when you’re our age. …. not cute anymore.
Plus i love that mohawk of a hairdoo.
Lion! ROAR!
I’m all for the lion. Well, Ruby is technically half Singaporean right?
PINK LAMB! PINK LAMB! the lion looks like a brown flower!!!
actually i quite like the lion, hucks! it looks like my soft toy which i sleep with every night! haha.
