Cameron Lo

Boy did I have a tough time finding a costume for Cameron! It reminded me of my last-minute shopping for Darren’s first and second Halloweens! So the story goes like this: I assumed Cameron would wear Darren’s first Halloween costume–the penguin. But Darren’s preschool has a costume drive, so I thought I should donate the penguin costume since it has no legs and Cameron who’s crawling and moving around a lot already wouldn’t be a big fan. Unfortunately, as I should have learned from years past, Halloween costumes get snapped up pretty quickly, so I was left without too many options. I was lucky in fact to be able to get my hands on a bat costume. But Darren’s already in black as a spider this year, so I was thinking both kids in black wouldn’t picture very well…It so happened that one day I was in the checkout line at Costco and the mom in front of me found a really cute cow costume there—Cameron’s born in the year of the cow/ox, so it’d be perfect—but she told me it’s the last one! I searched high and low at other stores for the cow costume, but no such luck—plus I found out that cow costume is meant for girls! As I was looking for the cow costume though, I came across a pretty cute dinosaur costume that’s meant for boys. So there you go—our baby dinosaur on his first Halloween!
