Boo Hoo Hoo!

Happy Almost Halloween! Don't worry...I plan to post Halloween photos. Isn't this photo too cute. I still can't believe how old he can look in certain clothes...how time flies. Okay this post is just a true toddler teaser. I planned ahead this year to get him a Halloween costume...I researched to find what I thought was the perfect costume to fit his personality or his current passion. Then I found what I thought was perfect...a dog costume. I got such a deal and when it came in the mail I was so proud of my shopping achievement and was so anxious to see Wyatt in it. Well, the furry costume looked so perfect...I was nervous about the head piece fitting since Wyatt leans towards a larger hat size. I went to put on the head piece and it was welcomed by Wyatt's alter ego that we quickly found out strongly dislikes fur head pieces. Slightly disappointed, I vowed to gradually warm him up to the costume idea. So, I started by wearing the head piece myself (are you picturing it...good because you are going to have to use your imaginations...no photos are available) and running around barking like a dog. He loved it, but it didn't convince him to try the head piece. It just made he want me to wear it more. However, I did convinced him to try the paws (hands and feet) on. I captured the fleeting moment.

Yes, in his pajamas and wearing only the paws. Is he smiling or humoring me?

Picture Wyatt in the paws and me in the head piece running thru our condo barking like dogs. Wyatt had a great time...okay true laughter and barking by both of us. Then he agreed to try on the head piece...ta da...a photo of the glorious moment. Okay, I convinced him to wear it. That lasted...hmmmm...a minute tops.

The head piece on and a smile!

Since that fateful day, I cannot get him to wear any piece of the costume. Under distress (backing away from me when he saw me with it) we did try on the suit and it was too large. Incredibly sad for the perfect costume, I hope it will be met with excitement next year so I went out to search for Plan B. Wyatt is weeks away from being two...less than 8 weeks! I must say the rumors are true...the terrible two's have peeked their way into our lives a little early. Not too bad, but we are so used to our mellow, laid-back Wyatt so it is a surprise to see him get frustrated and impatient when he doesn't get his way.

I hope Plan B is a hit...stay tuned!
