Dylan the crying lion

About a month ago I started concerning myself with what Dylan would be for Halloween...not that I didn't have plenty of other important things to worry about...I mean it was only 3 month away....but there was really no stopping me...I began searching online for the perfect baby costume for Dylan...I finally found theee outfit..it is a darling lion costume...not just any lion costume....I wanted only this one particular costume....I searched for a company that had this costume in stock...I finally found one and immediately ordered it...once I received the costume it was a bear costume...not the lion costume..I immediately returned the bear and attempted to reorder the lion costume only to be told that it was not in stock and they expected it to be in stock by mid September....well that would not do....that would still give me at least 45 days..but what if they did not get them in...or perhaps every other mother wanted this same costume and due to such high demand Dylan would not get his...I couldn't stand the thought of Dylan in any other costume...my heart was set on this particular lion costume....so with that I searched and searched...finally last week....I found it...in stock....ready to ship....I ordered it immediately....and though they said it would ship the next 24 hours...I expected the worse....after quite a extensive search with no luck...I figured that they really did not have it in stock and that it would be on back order or something...but with great surprise Dylan's little lion costume showed up last night....I immediately tore into the packaging and without a moment lost put this most darling outfit on Dylan...it truly is adorable....though it will need a little alterations it has met all of my expectations....only one problem...Dylan...he doesn't like it...he started crying....I think its the mane...he hates it....I just did not expect this...the little baby model was so happy and so cute in the little lion costume...but Dylan definitely was not....so I am somewhat disappointed....I mean it really should have been obvious to me that children at his age....would hate such a outfit put on them....but my dream is still alive....though reality is sinking in that it might just be a dream....that we might never get out the front door with this wonderful outfit on.....we will work on it over the next 45 days.....if all goes as planned you will all be getting a darling picture of our baby Dylan smiling gleefully in his little lion costume...
