For halloween the boys transformed into Chris and Martin Kratt from Wild Kratts (a PBS show about animals). The boys just love that the Kratts brothers can get creature power and become a wide variety of animals. When they tried on the costumes they both looked up at us quizzically and asked us as they pushed the creature power button "How do we get there?" and sadness set in. It took me a second to figure out what they meant but then it clicked. They thought that by wearing the costume they'd be able to use creature power to become a white shark, for example. After going through a painful, and luckily brief, acceptance process, they began tapping in to their imagination and creating all sorts of of role plays.
I realize now that I don't have photos from trick or treating but I do have photos of:
First trying on their costumes the night before Halloween.
And their school parade. I don't know how well you can tell through the photo below, but Elliot lets the gloves hover on his hands which just cracks me up.
I think these costumes will be worn for many days to come.
