thank you! The truth is he loathed that mask with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns. The first time I tried to put it on him, he went from zero to OMIGOD SCREAMING SCREAMING in about a tenth of a second.
So I tricked him into the picture by waiting until he was asleep to put it on, then setting him up on the arm of the couch while he was still groggy. That smile quickly gave way to a full-throated tomato-faced tongue-quivering HOWL of betrayal when he realized he had the ghost mask on, but I feel I deserve some cute first-Halloween pictures, because a) I was in labor for 24 hours, and b) I know what chapped nipples feel like. The end.
