Should G have a Halloween costume?

I can't decide whether or not it's pointless to dress him up.  On one hand, I really want him to have a costume since it's his first Halloween and I want pictures and I think I'll regret it later if we don't dress him up.  

On the other hand, for anyone to see him in his costume we'll have to drive to my parents', to MIL's, SIL's, and probably DH's grandma's.  They all live about 40 minutes from us, but all within ~15 minutes of each other.  Is it worth the hassle of loading him up and driving to them so that 6 or 7 people can see him?  

Would you/did you dress up your LO for their first Halloween?  My most favorite costume (a monkey) was sold out when I went to Target last week, and the other less cute ones are going quickly so he may not even have a costume to begin with and my problem will be solved....*sigh*

Re: Should G have a Halloween costume?

  • B has two costumes.  :)  We have all gone to a costume party and we plan to go with some friends to Haunt the Zoo.  I know she won't remember it but we will and I have pictures to show her.  I think you should buy him a simple costume...  The ones at ON look comfy!
  • I would, and am and C is only a month older than your LO! Smile  I found a chili pepper costume at the local consignment store for 3.99 so I don't feel that bad about it.  I don't know that I would spend 20+ dollars on one though.

    We don't have any family around either so it will really just be for mine and MHs benefit and for taking pictures.  But, if I had all of my family within 15 min of eachother I would go out there and "trick or treat" at each of their houses and let them see LO dressed up.

  • Yes you should! It's his 1st Halloween! Maybe I'm a little overly sentimental :) DS2 has a costume, and I paid too much for it... but I ordered it last minute and I wanted to get one to "go" with DS1's costume.

    Do it! Pick out something silly and cute because before you know it he'll be 3 and will want to be Batman. 

  • Another vote for getting him a costume.  :)  B was a monkey his first year.  I hope you're able to find something for him!

  • I also say yes!  My kids have all had a costume for their first halloween.  They all wore the same one (a cow) and now I am going to have to stuff G into it becuase she is so much taller than the other 2 were.

    Lol that's my thinking too!  I figure I better enjoy being able to make him wear what I want him to Wink.

    I decided I definitely want him to have a costume--I just know I'd regret it if we didn't dress him up. So, I spent more time searching for a cute, preferably monkey, costume after work today and found nothing.  

    BUT--thanks to BoyMom's generosity G will be wearing an adorable monkey costume Big Smile
