Help me figure out a halloween costume for my 2 year old.

DO IT NOW.

Please.

Her first Halloween she was GIR from Invader Zim and last year she was an Ewok. I was going to make her a little Kaylee costume, from Firefly this year, but I've figured out that I'm not good at making my own pants patterns and a mechanic suit is harder than it looks. If you haven't figured it out, or don't get these references, we're fucking nerds.

She's a tiny kid, so it's hard to find costumes that fit her, and aren't geared towards little babies. Also, as much as she loves Frozen, I'd like to avoid princesses for at least another year. I can sew, sort of, but I'm just blanking on ideas here.

Also, while you're thinking about it. Look at how fucking cute my kid was.

If she loves Frozen but you don't want princess, maybe Olaf?

She'd probably dig that. That's a good idea.

We did Leia when DD was just tiny. (Technically a princess, but at least not a Disney one). The costume was huge on her but it still worked. We just gathered the "wig" into a ponytail holder on the back of her head so that it would stay on. Her face lets you know she loved it too:

I just really love wigs and fake hair on babies; it's hilarious to me.

Wednesday Adams or maybe a muppet like Beaker.

My DD is going as a Gryffindor student. Since she's only 9 months I'm not going for anything elaborate--Gryffindor colors baby scarf, Gryffindor leg warmers (yes, that's a thing), and a Hogwarts class of 2032 onesie. I am not good at sewing, but I found this stuff on Etsy and Amazon. I say all this because I saw some cute Harry Potter ideas for toddlers on both of those sites such as a Hogwarts cape, and baby girl Gryffindor skirt/onesie, etc.

My H went and bought her an Elsa dress. I've been outvoted, lol.

DS is going as buzz lightyear, DD has chosen to be a Disney princess, she has about 6 dresses to choose from. They might change their minds when we take them to the Halloween store though.
I have no opinion on the matter since I'm due oct 25th, I just want whatever's easy.

If I was picking, I'd do something obscure, like Rainbow Brite.

Mine was Maggie Simpson last year - H made this amazing costume. This year she's going to be Magnum PI. We are geeking out before she's old enough to have a say.

You have to show us pics of Magnum PI; that sounds amazing!
