change him to flats instead of stillettos? -- nm - zork Oct 15, 14:05
just let him run naked in the neighborhood. -- nm - Remlik Oct 15, 14:03 2
- I hear his dad does that:) -- nm - eag Oct 15, 14:24 1
  - From what I hear Logan has mastered the two handed going to the bathroom stance.... - Remlik Oct 15, 14:31
You get another costume - one he likes. -- nm - grammar Oct 15, 14:03
Leave it conspicuously visible but never mention it. -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 15, 13:59
There's no good answer. Get a different costume is the best option. - Mop Oct 15, 13:49 1
- IMO it's not about the costume, it's about his exerting control by refusing to wear what mommy wants him to wear. Reverse psychology is my suggestion. -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 15, 14:06
swap it with someone else's? -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 13:48
hide sweets in it? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 15, 13:47
You don't or won't. If they don't like it, you're stuck with an not so happy camper. ;-( -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 15, 13:45
Oh, and I returned the hated dinosaur costume, and got a monkey costume. He tolerates it (unlike the dino) but won't wear it. - Amy Oct 15, 13:44 5
- Maybe let him pick? -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:44 4
  - Oh, he likes *everything* at the store. -- nm - Amy Oct 15, 13:45 3
    - And, he loves mommy wearing it (just the hood part) and he loves looking at it and making monkey noises. I figure I'm close to getting him in it! -- nm - Amy Oct 15, 13:51 2
      - lil miss ccc's costume at two was an elephant...I wore a pith helmet and took her around - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 15, 14:06 1
        
        just be glad she doesn't want to be a slutty vampire yet. -- nm - zork Oct 15, 14:31
Did he pick it? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 15, 13:44
I'm pretty sure I hated mine every year. Mom went thru a "cute" phase with my sister and I. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 15, 13:43 1
- I wouldn't take mine off. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 13:53
show him a graphical representation of his candy take with and without that costume - colin Oct 15, 13:43
let him be batman instead of superman? -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 15, 13:42 3
- and show him a picture of my sheltie in the batman costume. he'll be dying to wear it ;-) -- nm - zork Oct 15, 13:47
- Didn't you read. This was a serious question -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:44 1
  - that's as close as I get -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 15, 13:47
Dress Dad up in a matching costume -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 13:42
Stop trying to dress him like Wolverine? -- nm - oblique, new and shiny Oct 15, 13:41
