When most toddlers feel a little shy, their parents will enroll them in a play group, or make them join a kiddie soccer team. And when most toddlers visit Disney World, they wear store-bought costumes and “Frozen” t-shirts from the discount aisle.
Lucky for 3-year-old Lane Rouch, her mother Jennifer has ensured that she is not most toddlers.
Jennifer — a talented seamstress, Disney fan and Floridian — started making costumes out of curtains, upcycled fabrics and more for little Lane for their frequent Disney trips, as she noticed that her daughter came out of her shell when she wore them.
“At first, I was making her costumes because she’s a little girl and it’s fun — but we noticed that the more we dressed her up, the more out of her shell she would become and the better she would get with the characters,” Rouch told Today. “And it was kind of eventually like you would never have known this child was shy a day in her life — it has made her have such a large personality.”
