A Dragon in his Wagon

Rhys was a dragon for Halloween this year. He got to wear his costume twice: once at a Halloween-themed birthday party the weekend before, and once at a party with our mom's group the evening of Halloween.  To allow room for his wings and tail, we took his wagon (a special gift from Nana and Grandpa Jeff for his birthday!).

 

Surprisingly, Rhys didn't seem to realize that he was in a costume and wore his full costume happily throughout both events.  Although he is not one to humor us with wearing a hat these days, since his costume was actually a hoodie, it was fine with him.

Speaking of which, although RhysOnTheRise has not previously made any endorsements, we now must endorse Old Navy Halloween costumes!  Although I didn't even realize they had costumes until a friend mentioned it to me this year, we got Rhys's costume there and I thought it was great!  It was well-made, easy to put on and take off, looked great, reasonably-priced, and perhaps most importantly, he didn't mind wearing it at all!

I thought it was interesting that Rhys and his friends also didn't seem to be aware of the fact they were all wearing costumes.  There didn't seem to be any surprise at entering a room with a veritable menagerie of adorable baby animals.  As far as they were concerned, it seemed like it was just another play date.

Here are a few more pictures of our little dragon and our Halloween festivities:

who turned out to be Rhys's Halloween twin!

Rhys also met up with his friend Jack, another fellow
dragon.  They both enjoyed standing at the door
and watching the trick or treaters!
