OK, so here's the thing with our Winnie the Pooh Halloween costume: We got it for Jack in 2004. Halloween was a week after he turned six months old. It fit him very well. Four years later it was Max's turn — he was nearly eight months old. But it still fit just fine. Three years after that, Charlie was due for a turn, a little before he hit nine months. Still, no sizing problems.
Isaac, however, was born in early October. There was no way he could wear the Pooh outfit his first Halloween (setting aside his little hospital stint that week), and we just assumed by the time his second Halloween rolled around, a few weeks past his first birthday, the Pooh gear would be too small. But we held onto it just in case and — wouldn't you know it? — the Nugget is such a runt it fit him very well, all things considered.
Gurnee's trick-or-treat hours are always a Sunday afternoon. The weather this year was absolutely ideal. Actual Halloween was a cold, wet Friday, so when we made our traditional trek to Pops & K's house to hand out candy, there weren't many visitors. We did, however, recreate a photo of K and Pooh from Max's first Halloween. And I threw in a couple of other Pooh photos for good measure. And a video of Nugget trying to walk in the darn costume, which was never intended for children at that level of mobility.
