Our little guy was a lion this year for Halloween -- thanks, Aunt Jill, for the costume! It was a 12 mo size but was still pretty big on him. He did surprisingly well with the "hood" -- the head of the lion. He kept it on without really messing with it at all.
Unfortunately, he has been sick with fever, cough and (very) runny nose so he wasn't in the best of moods for Halloween. I'm figuring that sickness or not, every parent has at least one photo of their child in a costume crying their eyes out for one reason or another. Anyone?
Yeah, we have one.
In an effort to be the best parents we can be avoid making things worse, we opted out of taking him around to the few houses we were going to take him in his lion costume. Instead, we dressed him up and took him out to eat to celebrate Jeff's birthday at Outback Steakhouse. :)
He did pretty well there mostly because there were lots of distractions, I'm thinking. We heard an audible "awww" from everyone who walked by the table. As a matter of fact, I DO have the cutest lion you've ever seen, thank you.
My, my -- how so much can change in a year...
