For those of you unfamiliar with the Baby Bjorn baby carrier, it's like a harness that straps a baby to your front. Baby Charlie loves it, and is currently big enough to ride in it facing the same direction that I'm facing, about chest height. You see where I'm going with this, yes?
I got the idea for a hilarious baby/daddy combo costume today. We can re-enact the infamous scene from Alien, with me playing the part of poor Kane and Baby Charlie being the chest-burster! Tell me that doesn't rock! Charlie's costume would actually be simpler to make, as all I'd have to do would be to make a tight-fitting alien "hoodie" for her, because only the upper half of her body would be showing. My own costume could be very simple - throwaway clothes from Goodwill with gore around the chest hole.
Seems a shame to give up flying monkey, though. Although I could always do that next year, but she'll definitely be too big for baby bjorn, then.
And if she keeps blowing raspberries, you won't need any sound effects :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is better than the flying monkey-more original.
