more on halloween

erik had an absolute blast trick or treating!

we weren't sure how he'd like it, but he was a natural. i think that the practice he had earlier in the day (they took the kids trick or treating to local businesses while he was at daycare) made it a lot easier. at the first house he went to (nebby debbie, as we call her), he played shy and hid behind my legs. i probably would have hidden from nebby debbie too if i could have! after that, he would march right up to the door (or let me carry him up the steep stairs to the porch), say "trickertreat!" and either hold out his pumpkin or grab candy from the basket.

most people were nice and didn't get upset when he grabbed two or three handfuls. there were so few trick or treaters out that i'm sure most people had leftover candy. we did - yum yum! he held on tight to his pumpkin the whole time and especially liked getting to eat some candy when we got home. i think it may have been the first time we actually let him eat candy! he really liked the sugary candy, but the chocolate, not so much. he'll learn!
