note: this is for a halloween costume.......we have made the decision to dress ds up for the family and we are ok with it. so please no harsh words or criticism. :) so---on to my question.... lol

ok, first of all............do you like the lion or the skunk better for a will-be 17 month old:

we have sort of decided on the skunk, one because its hillarious, and two because dh brought up how ds doesnt like things on his head for very long, so if we have to take down the 'head cover' the lion loses a lot more than the skunk. but?? what do you all think? the lion is awfully cute :)

second question: if i decide to go the shortcut, (and not so hot route) do you think if i buy this and dye it black, then add the white animal fur to it, this bubble romper would do for the body part of the skunk, or is it "full" enough? http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/1769-AA.shtml

we'll stop there and see what you all think :)

They are all adorable!

I think one advantage of the lion one is that he could roar around the living room. Skunks don't make noises.

The shortcut would probably work, and might be more comfortable than a full-size costume (that tail looks awfully big!). If you wanted to do the lion, I would put the curly-fringed mane around the collar since he doesn't like the hood. Unless that would bother him too...?

Oh, but they stomp their feet, which DD adores!

Can your son speak with a French accent? He could be Pepe Le Pew (http://www.geocities.com/neenie2222/pepelepew.html)
