LO1's costume from her first Halloween would have been too big anyway... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2341390 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 10:01:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2341390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like making their costumes so probably not.<br /> DD1 was the same thing last year but it was her choice and I did change up her outfit a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2341378 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 09:43:46 +0000 winniebee 2341378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep at least the first year! Hopefully next year too since DS2 is a bit bigger and they are off in seasons (DS1 was 2.5 at Halloween and DS2 will be shy of 2). After that I'm sure that he will be asking to be something specific. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2341356 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 09:15:20 +0000 Truth Bombs 2341356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LOs are opposite gender, but their sizes will always match up. So LO2 will definitely wear big sister's stuff for his first and second Halloweens because both are gender neutral (a pumpkin and a giraffe). This year LO1 was princess Anna and she was very opinionated about what she wanted to be so I'm sure LO2 will want to pick his own costume by his third Halloween. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2341343 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 08:38:33 +0000 regberadaisy 2341343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really because all our costumes minus year one are semi DIY. So, clothes that can be reworn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2341025 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 14:48:06 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2341025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had different genders and lo1 just wore a Halloween outfit rather than a costume her first Halloween (september baby) and I didn't keep her other Halloween costumes. We love in an apartment and don't have a ton of storage space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340907 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 10:20:00 +0000 Canoli 2340907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year we did but I don't think we always will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340864 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 08:48:49 +0000 MamaBehr 2340864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't reused costumes. I like having a theme that is often set by the big kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340858 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 08:42:02 +0000 MrsF 2340858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are opposite gender but we're using a hand me down costume this year and I would imagine we will next year. So that's a duck for an almost 1 year old and a dinosaur for an almost 2 year old. LO1 is dressing as Abby from Sesame St this year and I'm assuming that her little brother won't want that one. 3yo seems like when they get more opinionated about these things anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340856 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 08:38:56 +0000 BandDmommy 2340856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO2 is opposite gender but LO3 is same gender as LO1, doubtful I'll reuse costume. We do themed costumes and will dress all 3 in similar theme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340825 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 07:14:36 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2340825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: me too! DS was a pumpkin for his first Halloween so we plan on each kid to wear that costume for their first Halloween too. </p> <p>Different ones after that though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340821 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 07:07:32 +0000 blackbird 2340821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T could've worn the tiger costume, but I made him a costume to match E's. We'll probably only do hand me downs if he wants to wear that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340818 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 07:02:21 +0000 looch 2340818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's cute when sibs are all the same thing for their first Halloween. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340799 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 06:24:55 +0000 travellingbee 2340799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I got rid of them so I would t do that. I don't want all of their Halloween pics to look the same :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340796 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 06:22:22 +0000 mrsjyw 2340796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a bagful of hand me down costumes from dh's bff. Ds2 is wearing one of those costumes that actually never fit ds1 when he was a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340793 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 06:10:09 +0000 Charm54 2340793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's DD2s first Halloween and she is wearing what DD1 wore. I can see us reusing costumes for the first couple of years...once DD2 is old enough to ask for a certain costumes/show her own preferences then I will get her her own </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340751 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 23:16:42 +0000 autumnlove 2340751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kinda, she wears LO 1's handmedowns for Halloween parties, themed story times and preschool but she is wearing a new costume tomorrow night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340745 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:57:00 +0000 Mamasig 2340745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - DS2 gets his own costume. And so far they have coordinated. Last year was batman and superman and this year was captain jake and cubby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340735 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:43:18 +0000 wonderstruck 2340735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do your kids have similar birthdays? I couldn't do this even if I wanted to because my oldest was wearing 6m stuff his first Halloween and 2T stuff the second. My youngest was in newborn stuff last year and 12 month this year, so no sizing overlap for Halloween. I don't think I'd do this anyways though because I like to have them in coordinating costumes while they're still young enough for me to get away with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340726 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 22:31:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2340726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 isn't here yet, but I have a feeling I will do group costumes for them as long as I can, probably letting my older daughter decide what she wants and making the baby something that coordinates. They will be born in opposite seasons so there is a good chance sizes wouldn't really work anyway. </p> <p>Still second kid is getting the shaft since I'll be letter big sis pick both :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340705 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 21:46:33 +0000 travelgirl1 2340705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, he did this year :happy: And since my girl chose a very unfeminine costume this year, there's a good chance he will get that in a year or so too. But once he is three, I will let him pick his own, just like his sister gets to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-lo2-get-hand-me-down-costumes-every-year#post-2340701 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 21:42:49 +0000 californiadreams 2340701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Assuming they are the same gender i guess. I know since i am having another boy, LO2 will get all LO1's clothes.....but i am wondering how lame it will be for LO2 to wear whatever costume i had chosen for LO1 3 years prior. But then again, i would find it ridiculous to buy new costumes every year when i have already spent money on one that got so little use! </p> <p>Wondering what people usually do with same gender kids and halloween costumes?</p> <p>I figure when they are both old enough to really voice what they want to be, it will be a different story, so i guess i am thinking more about baby and early toddler years. </p>
