My five year old is severely autistic and is in a running away phase. Considering he has little self preservation skills no verbal skills at all, it makes it very scary when he bolts away from us. He has shown to have an uncanny ability to wait for the right moment of parental distraction to break away and he is FAST. Kind of like the world's fastest human,
Usain Bolt. My mom thought up the idea to have Austin be him for Halloween, since he fits the bill so nicely. I loved the idea and got to work.
Picked up a child's running shirt and pants (who knew they made them this size?!) and added a little vinyl. I had to recheck a few times to make sure I spelled the country correctly, it just looks wrong to me...
Back
And what is a world class runner without a racing bib? I tried to replicate what was worn at the Olympics. There will be another one for the back with a number on it instead of the name. This is the perfect costume for my son, not only because it's so appropriate, but because it's loose, comfortable, and doesn't have anything on his head. So many costumes have head gear and he won't tolerate it. Hope you like it, buddy.....Ready?....Set....GO!
