Ever since Julian was little, I always did a lot of research online to find a cute costume that was not your mas produced outfit. My little man is unique and I want his costume to represent that. So every year I talk with Julian to figure out what is his favorite character. Hopefully it is from a new animated film it gives me reference and less chance they will have lots of costumes out. The last two year Julian has not seen anyone dressed like him and he has received many compliments. Julian smiling makes me happy so I will continue to do that.
The first costume I made for Julian was Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. This one was a total surprise. I never told him about it. I knew it was his favorite show. I had a super cool reveal planned ahead of time. I knew that they were opening a Jake and the Neverland Pirates live stage show. So on the special day I had him suit up and we went to the happiest place on earth. When we went into the show he was so excited. The cast members came down once they had seen him. The joked around about how well he looked that he was the real Jake and he should be back stage getting ready for the show. It was awesome.
While Julian was in Texas he had a special day at school. It was something having to do with coming in dressed as an old person. So dad was on the case again. I tried to think of some of the things that said to me old. Here is what I came up with. What was funny was, that even though a lot of kids dressed up and had fun with it, only one other kid in his class was dressed. Julian went up to his teacher and took off his glasses to say, "Hey it's me.... Julian". Like she could not tell. =D
This last year, 2012, Julian had a choice in movies between Hotel Transylvania and Franken Weenie. We both talked about it and went with creating Franken Homie. Here is what I came up with. I went a little too dark on the blue for his face and I should have pained the hair I made to be closer to the brown. But I was very happy with it.
