There are lots of great things about being a new parent.
For
example, the joy of bringing a new life into the world, the
thrill of shaping a young mind, the pride with each new stage
of your baby's life.
Few things are more exciting, however,
than the license to be a kid again.
What better way to
celebrate your newfound childhood with your baby than by
dressing up with them for Halloween?
There are a few basic rules of babies and Halloween. First, it
is probably best to attach yourself to a group of friends with
children who are a little bit older, otherwise it is obvious
that you are just out getting candy and playing dress up.
This
is not vital, however, since many candy givers will be too
distracted by how darned cute your baby is to care if you're
the one who's going to eat the candy.
The second is to be
careful of the material of your baby's costume. A lot of store
bought costumes are made of synthetic materials that are highly
flammable, and not very breathable for baby's sensitive skin.
The third is to make sure that the costume is weather
appropriate. You don't want the baby to be too hot or too cold
because of a hat or a lack of mittens. As far as materials go, a great way to avoid irritation to the
baby's skin, or undue worry over the safety of the baby's
costume is to use a base that is already clothing that the baby
is used to.
For example, adding a headband with ears and some
painted on whiskers to a grey fuzzy pajama set makes for an
adorable little mouse.
In colder weather, the same idea works
with outerwear. Does your baby have a black coverall snowsuit?
Well then you have an adorable little baby seal. For warmer weather, avoiding face paints that are likely to
melt or animal themed costumes that require a lot of coverage
is a good idea.
For something like a cat or zoo animal, the
same basic idea applies, but a onesie or thin cotton romper
with sleeves and legs works. Make sure you bring a blanket,
because once the sun goes down the temperature is
unpredictable. Another great thing about dressing up with your baby is that
you can literally dress up with your baby. You can have a
living, breathing accessory for your own grown up costume.
Some fun ideas include:
The imagination can wander
pretty far with the several different possible themes.
Perhaps
your baby would make a cute purse. It might be a little bit of
a stretch, but how about a baby lime and a mommy coconut? Think
about it. The possibilities are endless.
