Today, I got my two-year-old's Halloween costume in the mail. I tried it on him to make sure it fit. He loves it so much that he is now having a complete meltdown because he wants to go trick-or-treating. He doesn't understand we only go trick-or-treating on Halloween. 23 more days to go. FML

OP here! First off, for all the people inquiring about what the costume is, it is a plush dinosaur that his legs go into and his upper half sticks out of it. You can see a picture of it if you search "dinosaur" at costume express. And the issue isnt that he loves the costume, in fact he hated putting it on at first. The issue is that he wants candy and he wants candy RIGHT NOW. Thanks for all the suggestions. But now that a day has gone by, the costume is in a closet and he seems to have forgotten all about it.

My candy never got past the second day. My father would be passed out on the floor surrounded by candy wrappers

Here is a teachable moment to him and you. Wait till hes 14. God Bless

Maybe give a few treats to a couple neighbors and ask them to help you out? He's a toddler, I'm sure they won't mind.

Toddlers can be tricky like that. Next time I would consider waiting a little longer, or having some candy to give him so that he wouldn't freak out about it.

Our three year old has meltdowns like that too. I feel for you OP
