Dillan knew weeks ago he wanted to be Batman. He also knew exactly which Batman he wanted to be, and what the costume looked like. Not the classic Batman, but The Dark Knight. He's never even heard of the movie, but obviously had this discussion with someone more knowledgeable at school.
Leah, ever since her birthday, has wanted to be Sleeping Beauty. It was the newest dress, it made the most sense. Then just days before changed her mind to Cinderella. That's who she was last year, and we made extra preparations from the shoes to the headband, to the hair (thanks to visiting Grandma). So naturally, on the day of her preschool party, she emerged from her room wearing Rapunzel. Just days later, for the trunk or treat, she put on Ariel. Whatever. That's Leah.
Drew didn't get a choice. I figure it's Mommy's right to choose the costumes while they're young and don't have a say. I wanted to coordinate with him for the ward trunk or treat, and after debating through many different costumes, I found THE shark costume I just had to have. I snagged it on ebay and was all set to be a surfer girl right along side my cute little guy, who is quite the biter with his two cute little toofies.
Of course, just before leaving for the ward party, he fell asleep and Grandma insisted that I leave him and let him sleep. Fine.
But for the big night of trick or treat, everyone was set and had a great time. Drew hated his costume, and rode in the stroller with a sucker in his mouth until conking out just a few blocks in.
I'm hoping the costume fits next year and he'll be able to walk around and enjoy himself a little more.
Happy Halloween!
