I finally got Mom to make a turtle expander so that my costume fits my little belly. She used scissors, a washcloth, and some safety pins, but I think it worked out good. You can't really tell that the turtle-expander is on there Now it's the right size and snug as a bug (or snug as a turtle!). Way to go, Mom!
She took about a bazillion pictures of me. I'm gonna post some of them here. I had some trouble picking out my favorites 'cause Mom tooked to many!
