Happy Halloween

So a few weeks ago Noah's grandma Mel bought him a really cute pug dog costume for Halloween. I tried to get him to try it on then, but he refused. I talked to him about Halloween and told him that you have to wear a costume to get candy. We even read Halloween books to help him get the idea. In the coming weeks we continued talking about the costume and I continued to try persuading him by telling him how "awesome" his dog costume was. Noah was not convinced and replied, "No it's not awesome mommy! I am mad at Halloween!" Thus began the stuggle with the dog costume. Needless to say, life is busy and I pushed the costume incident out of my mind and actually kept thinking that on Halloween Day with everyone in their costumes, Noah would be excited and put his dog costume on. Well no such luck. Noah ended up being an army guy, which to him was a way cooler idea than a puppy. Duh mom! I actually don't blame him for this. So here he is in his thrown together costume (two hours before we went trick or treating). He has my black eyeshadow on his face (improvising). He had some sweet boots for this costume, but boots were out of the question also. Such a two year old!

The day after Halloween and Noah is still enjoying wearing his army hat!

I think his army costume is perfect! My little Vivy did that same thing the other year and would not be her cute little Kitty costume, she wanted to wear Clara's princess dress-up that was way too big. When a 2 yr. old has their mind made up - that's that!
