Am I a bad Mom???

DH is making me feel bad about this.  So for the last week LO has been having a rough time, fussy/cranky quite a bit which is VERY out of character for him.  He had a great day yesterday and then a great day today until he woke up from his 3rd nap, crying/fussy/just not happy in general so I skipped the Halloween thing altogether, didn't make him put on the costume, didn't make him go to our neighbor's house to say hello (the only place we were going to take him anyway).  Our babysitter took him to a Halloween party last friday and got some great pics in his costume so I kind of felt like no harm no foul, I have pics of him in his costume and I really didn't want to make him more upset tonite, is that so awful?

Not at all. We didn't do much with DD. It's not like she's going to remember this. Next year will be much more fun.

To miss something that he won't remember and doesn't care about? 

No.

No. He will never remember it anyway.

When Harrison gets fussy like that, I find that if we DO go out, he is so much better. He loves to be around people and getting out of the house sometimes helps (especially being outside). Just a thought. :-)

I did think about this because Syv is the same way, LOVES being out and about, but our Trick or Treating didn't start until 7 and that is bedtime for him, I had planned on keeping him up til 730 so we could partake but he only took 3 half hour naps today so he was EXHAUSTED : (

That defnitely makes sense then. Sleep would trump tot'ing in our house too.

LOL. He won't know what day those pictures were taken on when he gets older

No, I wouldn't feel bad about that at all.  At this point Halloween is more for you than him.

You're not the only one who skipped out on their original plans. DS got called into work this morning (on his day off). They asked him to work from 11:30-5:30, but he ended up working until 9:00. I kept Caleb in his pirate costume for most of the day, but our plans for pumpkin carving, taking pictures of Caleb in his costume, and passing out candy all went out the window. The pumpkin was in the car (at DH's work), DH was going to buy candy this morning but wasn't able to before work, and I sat at home somewhat bitter that our plans got all screwed up. But, when Caleb took a 3 hour nap this afternoon, I realized maybe it was better to just let him have a restful day. 

I agree with PP, our LO's won't remember this year and it won't matter what day you take pictures of them dressed up. So, we're going to carve the pumpkin and take pictures tomorrow. Who cares that we're a day late?!
