So, tonight Judd and I went to my mother-in-laws, Kris, to hang out and help her make Judd's dinosaur costume. Kris is a champion. This year she is making all the grandkids costumes. I wish I had her sewing talent.
At the end of the night Kris had Judd try on the costume so she could put the final touches on it and he was absolutely in love. Once he had it on, he tore upstairs so he could look at himself in the full length mirror. He gazed at himself for a long time and even stood to the side so he could admire his dragon tail. Judd was truly impressed with himself and couldn't get enough of his whole ensemble.
Well, Judd had to take it off so Kris could finish it and he went into total melt down mode. He cried and said he wanted his dragon back. Literally the kid was crying uncontrollably and although we all laughed, he gave us all dirty looks and continued to throw a temper. So, my sister-in-law, being as cute as a bug's ear, took extra fabric and made him a headband, belt and bracelet. Fortunately this saved our bacon and we were able to leave the house without the costume because things still needed to be added. He fell asleep in the car and couldn't help but snap a picture of him wearing his duds. Love him to pieces!

How cut!. Did you request matching dinosaur costumes for you and Jon too?
ReplyDeleteDoes she want to make ours next year too so I don't have to? I'll pay in cupcakes or cookies...her choice.
