When you’ve descended from a long line of shadow assassins, it doesn’t matter what you wear. When you’ve descended from a dad who spent a better part of his childhood chucking throwing stars at trees in his backyard while practicing his final showdown monologue, well, you kinda have to hedge your bets.

And that’s why this ensemble is the perfect choice for my baby girl. It’s stealth enough to carry out covert seek and destroy missions, yet playful enough for weekend picnics at the park. The Mali French dress anchors this outfit. Its simple, playful design with a sash-like belt achieves the full ninja intimidation factor. This dress says “I’m a sharp-like-ninja-star cookie.” Paired with the Brass Knuckles Beanie, there’s no question who the baddest baby at the mall is. While they don’t make the traditional jika-tabi soft-soled ninja boots in baby sizes, they do make Pirate Grippy Shoes. When you spend half your days scaling fortress walls and jumping from treetop to treetop evading capture, a little grip goes a long way. These shoes also shatter the misguided notion that pirates and ninjas just cannot get along. Hey, I’m all about social change.

Underneath it all, a ninja just needs to be comfortable. The Huggies Little Movers diaper ensures that whether she’s vanishing in a cloud of smoke, ambushing a warlord’s caravan or just chillin in her Bumbo, my daughter will be doing it in style and with full range of motion. Because nothing ruins a good round house kick to the head like an embarrassing leaky diaper.
