We have been anticipating Halloween for a long time. We went to the pumpkin patch a month ago! We have carved pumpkins, painted pumpkins, and screamed at pumpkins. We have read books about Halloween and played with Halloween stickers.
Andrew came home super early so we could go trick-or-treating. We got Miss M in her bear suit and even convinced her to wear her hat so she didn't look like a goofy Ewok, or character from Where the Wild Things Are, or any other version of a monster that people constructed.
She did really well. I can't say she loved trick-or-treating but she did well. She was timid but this seems like a normal reaction to all the kids and adults in costumes and walking to strangers house with scary decorations. We went with the neighbor girl who is a few months older than Miss M. She is very verbal and can say trick-or-treat and she can also say more candy so she charged ahead while Miss M followed behind. Miss M tuckered out after about a block. We carried her the rest of the way and she chewed on her blanket.
We have a bucket of candy and Miss M has no idea. We tried to get Miss M friendly candy (used for bribes mostly) such as Kit-Kat's and M&M's. She looks at her pumpkin bucket and just keeps walking. I should hide the candy before she realizes that there is goodness hiding in the bucket!!!
