Kids Halloween Costumes and Other Costumes for Kids

Kids Halloween Costumes and Other Costumes for Kids...

If your child is anything like my Cameron, he or she absolutely loves costumes!

For Cameron, it's usually anything with a cape. Even at almost 17, he is still crazy about capes! Update: Now even at almost 18 years old, he still has the same cape in the picture and still loves it. :)

Isn't he the coolest Capeman-Man (that's his name for who he is when he's wearing his cape) you ever did see? ;o)

Kids Halloween costumes have come a long way

I know some kids with Asperger's Syndrome want to wear costumes with tails, or even just the tail (did you see Zev on The Amazing Race?).

With my Cameron, it was always a cape whether he was wearing a costume or not. :o)

Although whenever we bought a kids Halloween costume for Cameron, he wore the entire thing night and day until it was no longer wearable!

Some of our Asperger's kids want costumes for kids that have special ears, others want swords (that was one of Cameron's favorites, still is actually, cringe...), there are so many options with kids halloween costumes these days that you should be able to find whatever it is that your child is craving.

And when looking for costumes for kids, you don't even have to wait for Halloween any longer, now they're available year round!

You'll be surprised at the amount of kids costumes you'll have to choose from!

Costumes for kids will bring out the imagination in your child

And it wasn't just Halloween, it was throughout the year.

He'd want to wear them to school, no honey sorry, so first thing when he got home, on went the costume.

He wanted to wear them to bed (that was kind of a tough one because of the fire retardant issue). Those times that I did give in to that begged for and begged for request, nothing with strings, such as capes, was ever allowed in bed.

He wore them to the store. He wore them to restaurants. It didn't matter where we went, he wore his costume, and if it wasn't his costume, it was at least his cape.

And I didn't mind. If someone gave us a strange look I just looked right back at them, then looked at my son and smiled.

He was a Power Ranger for many years but there had to be a cape added. He was a ninja for many years, again there had to be a cape added. Then it was anything with a sword but again there always had to be a cape. No matter what costume he was wearing, no matter the time of year, he always had to have a cape.

And then, even when he didn't have a costume on, he still had to have a cape. :o)

Even today, as the pictures show above, he's still into capes.

The other day my daughter and I were sitting in the living room and Cameron shouted from his bedroom "Hey, I found my Santa hat!".

I told my daughter, "Watch, he's going to come out with his Santa hat and his cape", and sure enough here he comes down the hall with his Santa hat on and his cape wrapped around him, announcing that he was Santa Capeman Man!

My daughter was like "No Way!" when he left the room... She was very surprised that I had called that before it happened. Even as I sit here writing this I am grinning ear to ear, it was so funny and so cute (even though yes he's 17), I wish so much that I had had my camera at the ready!

Spark your child's imagination and let them wear costumes ... I guarantee you that your child won't be the only one with wonderful memories!

Oh, and be sure to have your camera at the ready!

Here's that search box again...
