For most kids, picking out a Halloween costume can be a tough choice only because there are so many options to choose from.
But four-year-old Jackson Poole of Sidney, British Columbia, has a different challenge when it comes to trick-or-treating.
Born with a genetic condition, Jackson is unable to walk. This means that his costumes, like everything else, must accommodate that.
It might seem tough, but as we've seen time and again, few people are willing to let a little thing like the inability to walk stop them, much like the man who decided that if he couldn't walk, he might as well fly.
And what do you do when stores don't carry what you need? Why, you DIY, of course!
And that's exactly what the Pooles did, and have done for the past few years. See what they've come up with, and let us know what you think Jackson should be next Halloween!

When Jackson was younger and smaller, his parents, Tracey and Chad, created costumes that would allow him to be carried, like this Curious George costume
When he got bigger, they started incorporating wheels into Jackson's costumes. Last year, his wagon was decorated as the house from the Pixar movie Up. As for Jackson, he loved how bright and colorful his costume was.
So this year, Chad and Tracey decided to continue with the trend. Tracey came up with the idea, and Chad puts his artistic ability (which he claims he doesn't have, but we beg to differ) to the test.
The whole project took him about 50 hours. He cut, constructed, painted, added hand-made decals, and even added working lights. Can you guess what it is?
We'll give you a hint:
Yes, it's the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo, which transports the characters from one mystery to the next. Chad dressed up as Shaggy.
And Tracey joined the gang as Velma.
Chad and Tracey's dedication to their son is just beautiful, and handmade costumes are always the best. We can't wait to see what they come up with next year!
