Today is Halloween, and I get to wear my dinosaur costume! Dad helps me put it on. The green fabric feels soft on my arms and legs.
I notice the costume has a smell. It smells like plastic and new fabric. The smell is a little strong, but it's not bad—it's just different from my regular clothes.
I touch the costume's tail. It feels smooth and a little crinkly. When I move, I can feel the fabric moving with me. The spikes on my back are soft and don't poke me.
Dad says, 'You look like an awesome dinosaur!' The costume smells less strong now because I'm getting used to it. My body feels cozy inside the soft fabric.
At school, Ms. Garcia says, 'What a great dinosaur!' Other kids want to touch my costume and smell it too. When lots of people are close, the smell gets stronger, but I can take a step back to give myself space.
By the end of the day, my dinosaur costume feels like part of me. The smell doesn't bother me anymore because my nose got used to it. I'm a great dinosaur, and wearing my costume makes Halloween special!
