Last eleven years Halloween came and went . We loved watching kids/children with Halloween costumes . I love the little girls beautifully dressed in princess /fairy costume in-spite of the cold weather (girls can never let themselves down for weather right?) asking trick or treat in their quite & shy voice(s). We loved spoiling them with good chocolates.
I had one fun Halloween episode six years back, a chubby young Chinese boy paid couple of visits to our home trying to get more chocolates. Every time he altered his costume a bit . First visit he came with full costume with mask & dress. Second visit he removed the mask but with same dress. The third visit was with a paper grocery bag mask , barely having two holes for his eyes and one for his nose. I admired his creativity and went along with him. He tried the same trick for next couple of years. And then, I did not see this little boy for last couple of years. I thought to myself may be the moved or I didn't take notice of him. This Halloween I got the answer . The little boy is now a big boy (I should say verrrrrrrrrrrrrry big boy)and by his physical appearance I guess he should be in his middle school or freshmen in high school.
This Halloween we had our new little boy " NR". A month back, I bought a little bee costume for NR . We tried the costume a week before Halloween and it was bit bigger for him. CB got a "Pea-pod" costume in 6 -9 month size, which was too tight for him. Finally he bought a pumpkin costume just the day before Halloween.
It was a pretty busy day for me .My blog friend Sheela planned to visit us with her daughter Ana. But on her way to our house she got news about her baby boy Sam running high fever. So she has to return back . I was eager to meet her and her cute daughter Ana but we postponed our meeting to some future date.
I dressed NR in his pumpkin costume. More often NR gets compliments as "she" instead of "he". Halloween day was no different and everybody said "oh she looks sooooo cute". I politely told everybody that NR is boy. Later when placing his costume back in the package , I noticed the picture. A baby girl was posing for the costume. CB had purchased a baby girl pumpkin costume for his son. CB has some explaining to do when NR grows up and sees his first halloween pictures.
I never knew that even pumpkin costume is gender based : ) .oh well, after all this is our first baby and CB is allowed to do such goof ups right ? .
