C had a great first Halloween! We spent all last week teaching him to say trick-or-treat and talking about what we would be doing and how trick-or-treating works. The excitement of the other 3 kids clued him into the fact that something exciting was about to happen... and he was thrilled about the idea of getting so much candy! C had a few practice runs with dressing up and getting treats before the big day (went to 3 pre-Halloween parties), so he wasn't too impressed with all of the preparation before we left to go trick-or-treating (he was not impressed with jack-o-lantern carving either- in fact, he was completely disgusted with the process). Once we started knocking on doors, however, he was clearly a little confused. For the first 4 houses, he followed his big brother and sisters quietly and dutifully to the doors, looking very uncertain. He even handed his candy back to the neighbor at the second house! By the fifth house, though, C had caught on just fine and boldly led the troop to each door, all the while loudly proclaiming "Trick-or-treat!" like a pro :0)
Did I mention he was the cutest Mickey Mouse I have ever seen?
