For anyone with a baby, whether you yourself like Halloween or not, you've got to admit it's irresistible to dress your little one up in an adorable costume (think pumpkin, bunny - babies look cute in basically any Halloween outfit).
I know a lot of toddlers LOVE to play dress up, whether it's Halloween or not. My children do not.
When my son (now 5) was a baby, the lion costume we got him went unused - he screamed when the hood with ears was placed over his head. We had to opt for a plain, t-shirt and sweat pant Batman outfit instead. He has since been a baseball player and a soccer player - fairly normal clothing that didn't feel constrictive. This year he'll be a tiger and is willing to even put a tiny bit of face make-up on. But again the outfit itself is almost like pajamas.
Our daughter (2) seems to be following his footsteps. We got her an adorable yellow Belle dress because she loves Beauty and the Beast. For the last several days I have placed it over her regular clothing just so she will get used to it and not scream when it goes over her head. My hope is that by Halloween, she won't complain when we put it on her, and can wear it at least long enough for a few cute photos.
I love this time of year and it's nostalgic, remembering dressing up as a kid. If your kids love costumes, enjoy the fun of it. If not, get those snapshots as quickly as you can.
