So the boy has always been into dinosaurs. He was excited for Jurassic World when it came out. Still too young to see it in theaters. The antsy is real with this one. But when I got the DVD, he was all over it. He has had a couple dinosaur shirts before. But the dinosaur obsession came on full force this year. He goes through phases. Batman is always a constant in his life. I may have spured that on when I painted his nursery…
But, I really had no idea he would stick with it.
Nightmare Before Christmas is another regular obsession. He has listened to the songs every night at bedtime since he could request songs. Every night. 2 Jack Skellington songs off of the channel on Pandora. He has laid off of that this year (now that it’s Halloween again, he’s back at it). It may have come full circle because we visited Disneyland last November and he got to meet his idol.
As you can see, this was his Halloween costume last year. This was one of those priceless moments I’ll never forget.
But this year, dinosaurs. He asked for a dinosaur birthday party. He only wears dinosaur shirts. The school has a trunk-or-treat and we have to do a dinosaur theme. Should be fun. I sprung for the inflatable dinosaur costume for his party.
I plan on getting each of them the smaller kids version of the inflatable dino costume and decking the car out with jungle leaves and smoke. Simple but fun. I had to go looking for a more acceptable dinosaur costume for him to wear to school, though. It’s not like they’ll let him go to class in the inflatable one. Searched online for some nice ones. We ended up at Spirit Halloween and got this one.
About $30 and I figure it should be ok for school. The head and gloves come off. His teacher is pretty mellow but if it’s really a big deal, he can take it off until they do their little parade. This reminds me of the plush dragon costume he had a couple years ago. He looked like a little stuffed animal. So we’re all looking forward to Halloween this year. We always do. Happy Haunting, everyone!
