Spooky Halloween!


Parker was a Dinosaur for his First Halloween! We didn't go trick-or-treating, but spent the evening at a friends house enjoying all the costumes that came and went. I found the dinosaur on Ebay for 10 bucks, worn once, and originally purchased at Gymboree. Why spend big bucks on it when I know he won't fit in it again? Parker's costume was determined earlier in the year because from day one Parker would always growl or roar. We started calling him a little dinosaur when he was only a couple months old. Then when he started teething he would roar just before he attacked you with a gummy bite! Now, it's not so gummy, but with a razor sharp 8 teeth! Biting is also something we have been working on as it's a bad habit he has started. We haven't determined if it's out of frustration though. In my opinion, he just gets in that mood. He bites for fun and when you tell him NO! He smiles. So we have begun "crying" as a resort. He bites, he pretend to cry and in turn he cries out of remorse. I was very surprised the first time I tried this. I honestly didn't think it would work, but it did! He is an emotional baby. Not so much a drama king, but if he hears another baby cry in the store or while we are just out and about... his pouty lip comes out and he sheds a couple tears.
