Help me decide on a Halloween costume please!

lyndamf · August 2009

So, for some reason, I've always wanted DS's first costume to be a traditional one. When I worked at PBK, I always loved the pumpkin costume. But then, DH and I saw the glow worm costume at Gymboree and thought it was pretty cute. Now, being the indecisive person that I am, I bought both and need to return one. I love them both and they both look cute on him (although I'm still a bit partial to the pumpkin). Please help me decide!

Here are the links:

If it helps, the glow worm cost me a bit more because I got it at 30% off vs. 40% off at PBK.

They are both adorable but he might be too hot in the glow worm so I would go with pumpkin!

I was totally going to say pumpkin...until I saw the glow worm. The glow worm is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

The glow worm looks more comfortable for a little guy who won't really be sitting up on his own yet.

I say glow worm, but I might be bias b/c I already bought DD a caterpillar costume. It is similar to the glow worm. They are both cute so I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Totally agree with nacho. The pumpkin is adorable - but may be best for next year when your little man is sitting and walking. Think about how hard it would be to hold him and have him on the floor, etc... Maybe you can exchange the PBK one for 12-18 months and then you'll have your next year's costume, too!!

I vote glow worm. It is way too cute to pass up. Plus, he can totally do pumpkin next year and that is a better costume for a walking child.

Thanks everyone! I think you've convinced me to go for the glow worm. Although, I'm tempted to keep the pumpkin too just to take pictures in! DH just rolls his eyes at that thought since the glow worm was his favorite.

I LOVE that glow worm costume!! I wanted to get Kennedy one last year, but I lost a bet with DH (when OU lost the OU/Texas game) so I ended up having to buy her a longhorn cheerleader costume instead. Grrr.
