Is there a way to get my daughter used to her costume? Or should I scrap it and find something less 'scary' for her?

Asked by keobooks (14322points) October 10th, 2011

My daughter will be 13 months when Halloween comes around. I got a very cute frog costume for her at a clearance sale last year. I decided to see if it fit her. It’s basically a green coat with eyes on the hood. I think the eyes freak her out, even though she loves talking to the frog head when she’s not wearing it.

I stuck it on her and she started screaming and clawing at the eyes on the suit. She doesn’t mind wearing her jacket that’s made the same way but doesn’t have eyes on top, so I am assuming the idea of being crammed into a stuffed animal isn’t appealing to her.

Anyway, do you think there’s a way for getting her comfortable with the suit or should we just forget it and go with something that won’t be quite as cute, but won’t likely scare her as this does?
