Today, I got my two-year-old's Halloween costume in the mail. I tried it on him to make sure it fit. He loves it so much that he is now having a complete meltdown because he wants to go trick-or-treating. He doesn't understand we only go trick-or-treating on Halloween. 23 more days to go. FML

OP here! First off, for all the people inquiring about what the costume is, it is a plush dinosaur that his legs go into and his upper half sticks out of it. You can see a picture of it if you search "dinosaur" at costume express. And the issue isnt that he loves the costume, in fact he hated putting it on at first. The issue is that he wants candy and he wants candy RIGHT NOW. Thanks for all the suggestions. But now that a day has gone by, the costume is in a closet and he seems to have forgotten all about it.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

My candy never got past the second day. My father would be passed out on the floor surrounded by candy wrappers

my son wore a homemade very heavy dragon costume for 3 days in July once. he even wore it in public. his twin sister wore a princess dress and toy high heels. let him wear it he wont be 2 ever again. soon enough he won't even want to be around his parents.

At 2 years he knows about halloween treats! I find that impressive. Just tell him people buy the treats later, if he go now he will collect nothing.

you really can't tell a child that young about something like trick or treating that far in advance. Even a day or two is hard for them to wait for, but at least a they understand tomorrow as a time frame rather than the end of the month. You sorta DI for not properly preparing him, or well in this case, doing it to early. I hope you're able to get a handle in his meltdowns now, even though he's in his terrible 2s he needs to learn that's not OK. Good luck next time OP

Is it just me, or did this just start a full-scale up vote / comment war of adults who want their candy, and want it now. And just as a side note, I WANT CANDY EVERYDAY.

My little cousin has been a skunk for the past 5 years for Halloween, he loves that costume to death.

Aw how cute, he has to understand that he has to wait though. But if he loves his custume so very much why not letting him wear it. He is only once 2 years old.

My sister lets her daughter dress up in costumes all the time. But my niece knows that her halloween costume is different, and she has to wait. But after halloween, she gets to keep the costume as dress up. I remember two years ago, she wore her princess outfit for an entire month at home. But she knew she couldn't wear it in public.

Same thing happened with my nephews Iron Man costume. They got it off him after he fell asleep and hid it.

If it makes you feel better... My 15 month old daughter just says moo moo because her outfit is a dress up cow. Thats all she says though... Not mama, not papa. Just moo. FML!!! Hey this could have been a post instead of a comment lol

I had to try it on to make sure it fit. I needed ample time to send it back and order a new size if I needed to.

#89, if it didn't fit & it had to be sent back & a new one ordered, the sooner that's taken care of the better.
