Well this years costume situation was a bit different than last years! Last year our lil boy was 5 months old...so I picked out his cute lil turtle costume for him and he never cried..he just chilled in it lol! This year....not the same story. Of course, in true "our family" style, we procrastinated forever on choosing a costume. On Tuesday we made our way to the costume shops all over town and had to search through over picked costumes. If we found one..it wasnt in his size. Or vice versa...anyways on our last costume shop we were tired and hungry and done. Luke went up and grabbed one and it was his size and we took not a single moment to look at it and make a rational decision about it lol. The costume was red&orange and Luke tends to pick out red things and show a lot of interest in red. So I think that is why he grabbed it lol. Because when we took the costume out at home and really looked at it he started crying and freaking out lol. It was a dinsosaur triceratops. So now we know he hates dinosaurs obviously lol. I tried all week to "practice" letting him wear it and warm up to it. But he cries every time we take it out. Soo...feeling like the worst mom in the world I took him to walmart to find a cheap-its cute costume. ((Ps...the scary dinosaur- $34.00 no refunds or exchanges--nice)) So...i found all the costumes at walmart that were his size and laid them out for him to pick out. He carefully and very slowly went through every costume. At the very bottom was a WoW WoW Wubbzy costume. &&OMGoodness he went nuts over it. He was clapping and saying Wow Wow...it was cute. But being the momma I am, I tried to get him to look one more time at the "cuter" costumes that would make him look so adorable and like mamas lil baby still. BUT...in the end he wanted the Wow Wow and he got it. Makes me sad that he is slipping away from being my little baby more and more everyday. He is definitely a very independent and smart lil boy now. He is still as sweet as a lil baby tho =)...i sing to him "you'll always be my baby" by Sara Evans because it is so true. It was so hard to step back and let Luke make his own decisions when I thought there were better choices...but he was happy with his decision and that is what the real lesson is. He came home and went straight to his book shelf&pulled his WowWow Wubbzy book out and walked around the house with it and his costume! It was adorable...even if it wasnt my perfect costume lol. He makes the perfect Wow Wow Wubbzy ever ;)
