This year for Halloween, we had Jason's costume picked out far in advance. He had been asking for the Buzz Lightyear toy every time we went to the store for a while. So when a Halloween catalog arrived in the mail and we showed him a picture of the costume, it was a pretty easy decision. It was a little pricey, but Jason got to wear it 3 times. His school had a fall festival, where all the kids dressed up and had carnival type games. He also got to wear his costume on the Friday before Halloween for his class party and the school costume parade. And then finally Halloween night. I think he will use pieces of it to play in for a couple of years. He likes to put the wings on almost daily and pretend that he is flying around the house with his Buzz Lightyear toy.
Halloween was a big success this year. Jason got to go trick-or-treating with our friends Aaron & Marisa's son Austin. The boys are about two months apart in age and play extremely well together. I think it made trick-or-treating more fun to have a same-age friend instead of just Mommy and Daddy. When we later asked Jason what he really liked about Halloween, he told me "Mommy, they all called me Buzz!" Our boy is not afraid of getting attention! Oh, but don't let him fool you, he really liked getting all the candy too. Happy Halloween from our Space Ranger, "To infinity and beyond!
