Tina really wanted to dress him as a monkey and I liked this idea. I thought we could make it into a Monkey King costume. But I argued for the cute little China Boy outfit on the grounds that we already had it, and besides, it's not going to fit him in a couple weeks, so we should get a few miles out of it!
In this shot, if you look closely, you can make out his "queue" the traditional braided ponytail worn by men in imperial China.
Our very nice neighbor lady across the street asked excitedly, "Where did you get the costume?"
She felt silly when we answered, "China."
I wish I could refrain from the sarcastic comments, like: "The make-up took hours!" But I'm a very bad man. ;-)
Here he is posing with the neighborhood's "usual suspects". Yes, they are all too old to be Trick-or-Treating. But they dressed up, so how can you stop them?
Here's Kai on his first stop. Our neighbor, Ian, is helping him make his selection. The observant eye, will notice that his loot bag on the ground is from The White Swan hotel!
