We've picked out AA's Halloween costume for this year, and well, what else could he be but a bear? We originally had a dog costume that S had given to one of AA's cousins, and now no longer fits, but it mysteriously disappeared.  Can't find it anywhere.  Being as it was a dog, we can only hope it has found greener pastures. We went on a shopping spree to make sure that we'd have this costume in time, and found the perfect costume (although S does not like the bowtie particularly.  I'm kind of a big fan of the bowtie- it's not a run of the mill bear- this is a CLASSY bear) The costume also came with a rainbow blanket (is it possible that this is a CareBear (tm) costume?)  At any rate, the blanket has been banished from the costume. S has to cut off the bear's feet (the costume, not the child) so that he can wear his shoes and walk around as a bear. We have to hope that Halloween is not bear season!
