My kids have never had Halloween costumes. Mister couldn’t really wear a costume his first year because of his skin and overheating issues. Plus, at that time, I just didn’t see what the fuss was all about. Last year, we discussed costumes, but I didn’t want to dress Sister in a costume for her first Halloween, since he didn’t wear one for his. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve attended friends Halloween parties and all, we just didn’t dress for them.
Over the last few months, Hubs and I have been discussing whether or not we should do costumes this year. After all, kids do love to dress up. And there are some very cute toddler costumes available. Of course, he told me it was up to me, so I started looking around.
After looking around online, I found this Bandstand Baby Costume, on Costume Discounters, that I thought would be adorable on Sister.
So, I asked to review it, and to my delight, they agreed. I ordered a Large (Fits Toddlers 2T-4T) because Sister was moving from an 18M to 24M size in clothes, and I wanted her to be able to wear it for dress up, too.
As soon as it came in, I had to try it on her.
Isn’t she the cutest little Bandstand Baby you ever saw?
The neck kerchief is a gauzy polka dotted thing that Sister would not let me tie correctly. SO, it looks like a bandana in the pictures.
The bodysuit is a velour type material and is incredibly soft. The “poodle skirt” has the same polka dot material that peeks out from the pink skirt. It is Uber Adorable. Sister kept pointing at the poodle going, “dog.”
Since Sister generally freezes when the temperature drops below 75, I think I will add a pair of black leotards or tights to the costume to complete it.
She literally threw a fit when I took the costume back off of her.
Costume Discounters guarantees that they will not be undersold. If you find the same costume cheaper elsewhere, they will match the price, plus take off an additional 20%. Plus, if you receive your order and determine you need a different size or don’t like the one you picked, they will exchange it free *see details on site.
Now we just have to find a costume for Mister. Any suggestions?

Mister had to have surgery on his eyes yesterday. More specifically, he had stints removed from his tear ducts. This was his seventh procedure on his tear ducts (multiple probings/flushings plus one set of stints placed and removed previously).
After his first set of stints had been out for only a few months, his tear ducts started to scar closed again because of the Hay Wells Syndrome. So, the surgeon chose to leave this set in for six months, instead of the standard three, in hopes of getting the tear ducts to scar open.
Since he’s a little older now, I was a bit nervous about how he would handle things at the hospital. Especially after the “No, I not” episode with the dentist. So, to be honest with you, I didn’t tell him until this morning that we were going to see the doctor. He sees several of his physicians at the hospital, so it didn’t seem strange to him that we should go there.
I waited until the nurse gave him his pre-op medication to tell him that the doctor was going to look at his eyes, and that they might hurt a little bit afterward. I told him that if his eyes were hurting, he needed to tell us. 
The surgery took less than 20 minutes. The surgeon said that the stints came out without any difficulty, and he seemed hopeful that the tear ducts might stay open for a while this time.
He had problems with nausea and vomiting after the last two surgeries, so he had to have an IV this time with anti-nausea medicine.
We made it home without him throwing up in the van, which was a plus!
He spent the evening chilling out mostly. He did complain a couple of times that the light was hurting his eyes, so we dimmed them.
All in all, surgery went well, and we are hoping to avoid OR for at least six months, if not longer!
Thanks to all of you who knew ahead of time and prayed. We know that the Lord heard our prayers!
