Gus was going to be Tigger for Halloween. I bought the Tigger costume at a 2nd hand store in September. It is an 18-24 month old outfit and fit him just fine last month. Well, guess what? Gus grew! He is growing like a weed. The Friday before Halloween, Gus' preschool had an event where they asked us to dress the kids up in their costumes. I put that Tigger costume on him and it was too small.
Gus' biggest problem is the overwhelming disproportionate size of his torso compared to the rest of his body. Since the Tigger costume is a full body suit, the tightness was evident most in his groin-area. Poor Gus! He just kept tugging on his crotch because the tightness hurt him. You can appreciate this in the last photo. Anyway, my neighbor has 3 kids. She let us borrow one of her boy's costumes from last year.
And that is how Gus became a frog.
Gus loved loved LOVED trick-or-treating. How cool was this? He walked up to people's houses, knocked on the door, then said, "chick n teet," and then they give him candy! Gus thought this was the coolest! We did a few blocks. Then after returning, he ate 3 lollipops. Gus had a huge sugar high and so he entertained me for an hour or so.
He is just a fun little boy. . . I mean frog.
