I wrecked it already

We took the kids to see the Easter Bunny yesterday.  When he walked in DD was just beaming and grinning from ear to ear.  DS on the other hand started slowly backing away.  I though maybe it was just because all the other kids had rushed in and the parents all starting taking pictures - but pretty soon he was in tears screaming and terrified.  Poor kid.  DH got him calmed down and when the hype died down I asked him if he wanted to go by the bunny and he started crying again.  Not really thinking - I said "it's ok, mommy doesn't like guys dressed up like big bunnies either".  He got a puzzled look in his face and said - "what"?  MIL shot me a look and motioned to the kids that were running around.  Crap.  I thought maybe he forgot about it but an hour later he says "mommy, that was just a man in a costume, not a real bunny". 

 3 years old and I've already ruined it for him.  I guess I don't totally want him thinking there are 6 ft rabbits out there, but I still feel bad.  Hopefully Santa Claus can survive a few more years.

    Just because he knows the bunny at the mall is a man in a costume doesn't mean he knows/has to know that there is no Easter Bunny. We were always told that the Santas at the mall were actually "Santa's helpers" because the "real Santa" was so busy gett

    I tried telling him it was the EB's helper.  It is a silly little story, isn't it?  But they have fun with it and his sister and cousins believe and have fun with it so I feel like we have to go along with it for a while.  I just hope I did

    Well if it makes you feel any better I had to dress up as the Easter bunny for a kids party one year.  It was a favor for a friend and I thought it would be fun.  Well it was about 500 degrees outside and 1000 with the bunny suit on.  I abo

    Like PPs said, if you really want to keep the spirit alive you can tell them he's the real bunny's helper.  

    I personally always found the easter bunny story kind of ridiculous and don't think I've ever seen an easter bunny costume that woul
