I bought this a while back with Halloween in mind. He has a Halloween party in school every year and last year, he was simply not keen to dress up for the occasion, no matter what I said. So I let him be and he was one of the few who went to school as a plain-clothes person (as the school termed them). Which was fine, but it would have been more fun (for me at least) if he were to dress up as something different. So I tried again this year.
But on Halloween morning, he refused to wear it. His reason - "I don't want to be a skeleton! I don't want to be scary. Everyone will laugh at me and say my clothes are funny". Sigh. So it went back into storage.
A week later, he happily put it on without persuasion and went to school and every passer-by would smile at him and me and said "Woo.. sooo cute!" Hmmmm...
Edited to add: He wears it at least once a week ever since. His teacher remarked it is such a cute top that she wants one too, which apparently pleases him a lot.
