But can you blame me for trying?
I found this chicken suit at a kids second hand store and bought it for my son even though he said that he wanted to be "the scariest dinosaur I can be."
One mother at my breastfeeding group pointed out to me today that birds are descended from dinosaurs, so in a way chickens are dinosaurs.
I tried that argument out on my son this afternoon, and he bought it. But then I tried to imagine him wearing the chicken suit tonight and telling people, "I'm not a chicken, I'm the scariest dinosaur I can be!" That seemed a little cruel, so this one goes back in the closet. I guess there's always next year.
Thanks to Alison at Motherwear for the picture of the nursing pumpkin at right. Happy Halloween, everyone!
