Halloween at the Gym

For Halloween Ali's gym had a dress like someone in the gym day.  As parents we all laughed at this because they all look the same.  They all have their hair up and they all wear leotards.  How on earth were they going to dress like someone else in the gym??  Well, we were all wrong!  The girls actually managed to look like other people.  A few of the kids dressed up like coaches but the rest just dressed like another gymnast.  It was shocking to see the small changes that really capture another gymnast.  They actually are NOT all the same! :)  Paige is one of Ali's best friends and here they are (at right) dressed as each other.  They swapped leotards but the big difference was in their hair.  To a person not used to seeing the girls they wouldn't look that different but to those of us who see the girls every day the difference all of a sudden stood out.  Paigie has her hair slicked back with gel to make no frizz and hair tight against her scalp which is how Ali wears her hair.  Ali has her hair back in a pony tail with a headband held in with two barretts which is how Paigie usually wears her hair.  The kids had picked up on these little differences but it wasn't until the kids made the switch that these minor difference stood out.  It amazed me how the kids had no problem envisioning being someone else in the gym but as parents we missed it until the kids showed us.
