Tommy -

Made our halloween costume this year (a 'head on a silver platter) - Tommy embarrassed at school during the costume parade because his was the only home made one (didn't feel at all uncomfortable going to school and got praise from kids and teachers). He's feeling different and sad.

Now saying not wanting to trick or treat because of the costume issue. I've pretty much said the home made one is better because it represents time he and I spent together, etc..... not to mention it looks pretty cool.

Still sad - we're talking tears here - big crocodile tears not hissy fit ones. Any other ways to talk about this? I'm not inclined to go out and buy him a costume, Lord knows what Skinnerian behavior I would reinforce down the line, although don't think I didn't consider it.
