Random Halloween Costume Question

At what age did your child decide what they want to be for Halloween. My daughter is 2 and I asked her what she wanted to be. Of course she says Elsa LOL I am not sure if she really "gets" what I am asking her and I saw a really cute costume that is something else. So which one do I buy?

Dd is 4 and I still plan to give her a suggestion. She's easy going and I know I can get her excited about whatever I choose so I'll do that while I still can, especially so I can coordinate her and my 1.5yo.

I would ask her if she wants to be whatever cute one you saw and see if she'll get on board. If she's dead set on Elsa then I'd just do that.

Last year, at 2.5 my son chose his own costume. This year he's still "thinking about it." Chat Icon Big decisions!

I asked my DD who is also 2 and she also said Elsa. A friend gave me her DD's barely used Elsa gown (the one that was in demand last year or the year before) and I put it away in case she gives me the same answer in another month...lol

At 2, I'd just choose for them. My DD will be 3 this Halloween and I'm choosing for her this year too.

Thanks all! I was thinking of buying her Elsa and then the one I want and on the day of halloween if she refuses my choice she can wear Elsa. If she doesn't pay it any mind I will save Elsa for Xmas gift as dress up LOL

At 2 I went to the store and picked out a bunch of princess costumes. Came home with them and let her pick which one she wanted to wear. Then I returned the rest.

DS 1 didn't really decide what he wanted to be until he was close to 3 years old. Now both boys (6 3/4 and 4 1/2) pick out their own costumes. DS 2 has been a fireman for the past two years and I will be surprised if he isn't a fireman again this year.

Re: Random Halloween Costume Question

I didnt give her a choice until this past year and she was almost 4 ... I just bought what I wanted -- because I knew soon enough she was going to have an opinion and I wasnt going to be able to.. So her first 3 halloweens I didnt even ask... this past halloween she told me what she wanted.. AND what she wanted her little sister to be hahah

Except for his first Halloween my DS picked. If I picked for him there would be a huge tantrum. Not worth a fight IMO
