...My three-year-old has just informed me that he wants to go to the Halloween party tonight as Posa.

Yes, the Marquis of Posa from Don Carlo.

I don't know whether I should be very pleased or very, very frightened.

(To be fair, I think all this means is that he wants to wear his green cape, and I seem to have successfully shunted this into being "Super Rabbit Boy" (the hero of some books we've been reading) but...)

ETA: Now he wants me to be the Prince. So I have a green cape too now. People are gonna be really confused...

Awww :D At least he didn't ask for a full costume because that would be a bitch to sew, or even find fabrics for.

Heh, yes. And I don't really sew, either. We were at Legoland a couple months back and we saw some kiddie knight costumes and I was SO tempted. But they were also expensive enough I wasn't tempted for long!

Although I do do chain maille every once in a while, and now Older Kid says she wants me to make her a chain maille helmet for *next* Halloween, so we'll see what happens with that. I've only done jewelry/chains, never actual sheets, so we'll see how it goes (and whether I can ever find time for it!), although it doesn't look too bad to do simple ones.
