[quote=Anonymous]I think it's cute when others do it but wouldn't do it myself. I found it was good for my kids to sort out wha they wanted to be on their own, and a chance for individual expression. Especially for my shy, bookish kid, it was a chance for her to come out of her shell a bit because she demonstrated her interests through her costumes. Some of them were super nerdy and required an explanation, but it was what she wanted and helped other kids get to know her better. They'd see her dressed as Ada Lovelace, be like "uh, who are you?" and then they'd remember that costume and associate it with her for years. While I think family themed costumes might have been cute, I'm glad we didn't do them because of how it worked out for my kids.[/quote]
