For Halloween this year Tim and I had no problem deciding on Timmy's costume. He LOVES the Toy Story movies and he asks for them by saying "Buzz" and when asked what Buzz says, he'll tell you "Infinity and Beyond!" so it was an easy choice. Last year Timmy hated his costume (it was a giant monkey suit after all...) and we wanted to make sure that wouldn't be a problem so I told him we got him buzz pajamas, figuring this would be a complete non-issue this year. I was wrong. As soon as he even saw the custom he would say "No costume, no buzz, no buzz costume" and whimper and refuse to put it on. I tried every bribe I could think of, he turned down whatever I offered in order to not wear it.
Luckily, yesterday he was off schedule and did not take a nap, so in the late afternoon he was in a bit of a daze, and while changing his pants, he was hugging me and watching a movie over my shoulder, and didn't seem to notice that I was done putting his pants on... so, I grabbed his costume too! He did not even know I was putting it on him until I put the helmet part over his head! He started to protest but I grabbed him and "flew" him into the other room to everyone's applause and some fruit snacks, and we were all good! He wore his costume around to all of his grandparent's houses and went trick-or-treating for the first time, wearing it for probably 6 hours straight!
I think his favorite part of trick-or-treating was carrying the flash light and ringing the door bells. That no nap thing I mentioned did end up cutting our t-o-t time a little short, we went to a neighborhood that didn't have door bells, and that led to a mini-meltdown, but he certainly collected enough candy to last him a long time!
