When our son was five, we walked past a pink ballerina costume covered with bows, rosettes, and sparkles...complete with tutu. My son took one look at that and declared he was going to be a fairy princess for Halloween. After the initial shock wore off, we bought him the dress, sparkly wings and made a wand with glitter. He wore the outfit ove jeans and a long sleeve shirt (it's cold where we live) and all of the neighbors just loved his costume. We have a great photo of him next to his little brother (who dressed as Batman) that we still pull out once and a while. He is twelve now and past his fairy princess stage - although I would not be surprised to see it resurrected in college. This year, he says he is too old to trick or treat...I sure do miss that fairy princess sometimes.
