Dinosaur

The significance of the dinosaur costume in adorable picture to your left.

Dublin does not do hats. He does not do costumes. He doesn't comprehend the concept yet and up until this last Halloween would scream and kick the minute we slipped one over his head, which is why mama was prepared with a back up; Darth Vader pjs. 

The day before Halloween, after his bath, I thought I'd give the dinosaur costume a shot. He screamed. He kicked. He yelled.

On Halloween, I thought "just maybe if I put this on him outside and let him run around in it, he won't notice it." 

...and that's what happened. He ran up and down the streets along with the pack of neighborhood kids. No interest in candy or trick-or-treat rituals. Elated that he could move freely.

Mama got her dinosaur--the best kind of dinosaur actually; one that stomps on his own terms.
