So my three year old tells me he wants to be a Robot for Halloween, so I say to myself..."Hmmmm, I'm going to try to make one for him he'll never forget." Materials included a Huggies box, some dryer ventilation hoses, flashing lights, and a picture of my Clubman's speedo...to top it all off, the "song" on the speedo was "Intergalactic"



Here's a video of his "walk" across the stage during their school party...it's priceless: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyandmar/2994841516/

 

Wow! That's awesome! I wish I had been that creative when my son was little.

 

good one!

 

That video was awesome.

 

that was absolutely one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Jake is a great robot! and you rock for making him such a cool costume.

 

LOL.. awsome video!

 

Your son is incredibly cute! What a wonderful costume - and his presentation has to be the best ever - thanks so much for showing us.

 

Awesome Job on the costume and what a cute child, and smart to to make such a spectacle to show off your great work.

 

That was better than anything I've seen on YouTube in a long time! If you're ever in Virginia, let me know and he can hang out with my 4 year old. They would bring down the house.

 

Thanks for the nice comments. The absolutely hilarious part of it all is that it was completely unprompted. No one had any conversations with him before he walked across the stage...he just walked to the middle and busted out a dance. I was shocked and ecstatic all at the same time...my wife had tears in her eyes which I still don't understand.

 

She cried because he was so adorable, so natural and free and so full of the joy of life!

P.S. Well, of course, I don't know your wife - but I know how I have felt in the past when our daughter was completely unaware of herself and living in the moment like that.

Enjoy ever second you can with your little guy!
