Like I mentioned before, Bennett decided that he wanted to be a Lion for Halloween. BUT, when we put the costume on PLUS the whiskers and nose, he lost it!! He wanted nothing to do with his lion. And of course this is right before his preschool Halloween party! He was doing everything in his power not to go to school. After we got there and unbuckled his car seat, he jumped to the other side of the car so I couldn't get him. Then he clung to the car door so he wouldn't have to go! He was even more upset when he saw all his friends dressed in their superhero costumes. Thank goodness for Miss Melissa and his preschool friends, when we picked him up he was gungho about the lion costume. We had no problems putting it on him that night, and he made sure we knew that he wanted the wiskers on his face =).
I don't want this on my nose!
I don't want this on my nose!

Staying away from everyone else, and making sure he didn't make eye contact with any other kids. If he doesn't look at them, they won't look at him! I felt terrible. Here was my cute little lion (every mother wants their baby to look "cute" on Halloween) and all his friends were tough super hero's and pirates. I felt better once he came home loving his costume =).Here's my 2 boys showing off their Pumpkin Creations!
My happy lion and the cutest fairy every =). Jordan enjoyed using her wand to turn Bennett into a frog =)
The wings on Jordan's costume made it impossible to put her in her wheelchair or a stroller. She was queen of the night and was held the entire time. Thanks to our cousin Anjanette, me, and Rhett all taking turns and sacrificing our backs in the meantime. It was a lot of fun but we were all relieved when the night was over and we were able to set her down =). It's not the easiest thing in the world to carry a close to 30lb squirming child for hours around the neighborhood!
