So here's the story: Wes has worn the same Panda costume for Halloween the last 3 or 4 years. It was pretty big for him the first year, and a bit snug last year. This year he insists on wearing it again.
The other day they had a Pizza and Potions Party at his school. They had costume contests etc... He insisted on wearing the Panda costume. I got it out, he put it on, barely! I told him sorry son, it's too small. NO! It fits! Nope, we need to figure out something else. But I have to be the Panda!
I got him to wear an owl costume to the party. He said he wanted to win cutest costume and now he won't and he had it all planned! Cut to the party. 8 different categories, and not one that he could be in!!!!!! He didn't get to enter at all!! UGH!
So I have, what, like 9 days to come up with something? I can't alter the costume, it is too small everywhere, and nothing I suggest has worked so far. Does anybody else go through this? I am dreading Halloween night, I mean it.
BTW, he is adorable in the Panda costume, and if I could find another one I would get it. I love that he is so sweet and innocent, but at 10 it really backfires on him.

Carey,
I don't have any real advice for you on this one.
Carey,
Can you seek the help of a private Seamstress?
Where did you get the costume previously ? Have you checked any party stores ? I have not seen any pandas though to be honest. I was going to say to add some fabric to make it bigger, but you said it was small all over. Man I don't know.
Josh for the last couple of years deciede to be Harry Potter. He enjoys the movies but has a hard time reading the books.
This year Josh has informed me that he will not be tricker treating this year and that he is too old. Yeah right lest see what happens On Halloween when his brothers come back with the booty fom their travels
