I asked him several times for a couple of weeks to make sure he really wanted to be Pilchard for Halloween. His answer was consistent, and he even spontaneously told me he wanted to "wear Pilchard" several times. I checked around and could not find any Pilchard costumes for sale (not even online) so I bought the supplies to make one.
Bitty seemed excited when he saw me starting to make it. After several days (and late nights) of working, I finished it in time for the Trunk or Treat at church.
I made dh promise not to show it to him until I got home from work that day, because I wanted to see his expression when he saw it all finished.
Bitty wanted no part of it. Refused to even try it on. Sigh.
The next day was the Trunk or Treat, but Bitty was having an "off" day so we ended up not going. Hmm... if I'd known that I could have taken a couple of extra days to finish the costume and saved myself some sleepless nights. Oh well.
I'm still semi-hopeful that we may be able to convince him to at least try on his costume, but I'm not holding my breath.
