Halloween Preview

Yes, we are already getting ready for Halloween. Henry is EXCITED about it this year (he is in a holiday frame of mind in general - he also asks when Christmas will come on a daily basis now.) This is the first year that we let Henry decide on his costume, and there was much debate. First, about 6 months ago he started talking about how he wanted to be a giraffe. Then, more recently he decided he wanted to be a dinosaur. That stuck for a while until he saw a fairy princess costume in a catalogue and decided that was the costume for him (I said no to that one). Then, he went back to giraffe and held firm on it. After repeatedly saying "we can't change our mind once we buy the costume...are you SURE you want to be a giraffe?" We went ahead and bit the bullet.

He is now obsessed with wearing his costume:





Of course, after wearing the costume for about an hour the other night, making me bring a full length mirror into the living room so he could preen, and generally adoring it, he suddenly said, "But, I want to be a DINOSAUR for Halloween!" Sigh.
