Re: Do you let your 3-4 year old pick their Halloween costume?

For the last 3 years, I let DD pick the costume & then did something with DS that coordinated. Dorothy & the tin man. Abbey Cadabbey & Elmo, an agel & a devil. This year, DS is 3 & has been talking for weeks about being a Power Ranger. He is OBSESSED with the Power Rangers & requested to be Antonio. So that's what he got. I did briefly try to convice 7 year old DD to be the pink ranger so I could still match them, but that didn't happen Chat Icon DD is going to be Supergirl.

I guess it's time to accept that they have little minds of their own now. I'd rather see DS happy with something HE picked than unhappy so he could wear what I picked.

Yes. She was so excited about being a bumble bee since August. It was good b/c I was able to get striped leggings and a really cute bee pillowcase dress from Etsy before it was crunch time.

They choose their own. Halloween is about them, not me.

Yes within reason. I'm not going to go out and get a costume for them that they won't wear so I pick out a few I like and think they will and let them choose from them.

Lets see...a mushroom, a chocolate chip & a tomato. Any other mommies have kids that want to be food? Maybe we can call them a meal & all go ToT together Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I didnt have AJ as a baby so the last two years I got away with picking it out (Pirate & vampire - 2 & 3). I was able to get him excited for both.

However, this year @ 4, he is obsessed with all things Batman, there is no way I could say no. Time to relinquish control.Chat Icon

DS is 2 this Halloween and he wanted to be Thomas but I totally steered him away from it lol.. Next year I will absolutely let him pick his own costume though.
