The Boy Who Needed a Sheep Costume
I am perfectly aware that someday my son will hate me for posting this photo on this blog. E, we love you – sheep and all. You will always be our little lamb. harharhar.
A few weeks ago, the school sent out an email letting us know our son E would be playing the role of SHEEP in an upcoming first grade musical called, Ei Ei OOPS.
E swore he was a lamb. After some scouring of the interwebs, I learned that a lamb is a baby sheep. How did I NOT know this? (So in other words, if you need to know how to make a lamb costume – this will work as well). In addition to that insightful info, I found a few cute ideas on how to make a sheep costume. I mixed matched and he above is what it turned out like – uhm ADORABLE. This was super easy and comfortable for E to wear as he rocked his lines bah’n.
