So here's the final product. Compare this costume to the Mario one from last year and yeah, so much better. Last Wednesday, his after-school daycare program had a costume contest in which then, he went dressed as Mario. His Mario costume is pretty much the same as his Luigi costume pictured here, as he already had the Mario hat and I had bought him two long sleeve shirts from Target, one red and one green. Anyway, at the daycare pre-Halloween party, they had a costume contest and he won first place! He was ecstatic about it and everyone complimented him on his costume. On Halloween, he went as Luigi, and my wife had a great idea. A while back, I had put several video game songs into my wife's Ipod for Noah to listen to as he likes to hear it once in a while. She pulls out her Ipod and sets Luigi's Mansion music on loop, puts it in his front pocket, and voila(!), instant background video game music. "This is so awesome!" he replied.
Out on the trick-o-treating grounds, he got lots of compliments and some "It's Luigi! Where's Mario?" I saw several Mario's come to my place for candy and they we're in that same catsuit Mario costume that Noah was in last year, so for him going as Luigi made him stand out as the only one and with an actual clothing, makes him stand out even more. Best thing of all, two shirts, jean overalls, $25.00 for two costumes that I'm sure he's going to wear over and over again.
