Happy Halloween


As Megan gets older, the holidays become more and more enjoyable. This year's Halloween was no different. She had decided weeks ago that she was going to be a doctor, so the costume was the easy part. What came much more difficult was getting her to say "Trick or Treat" to strangers. 


She was great saying it for us, but I knew once she had to go off into the 'real world' she was going to clam up like she always does. And that was true Sunday night too ... until ... candy entered the equation. After no lie, three houses, she was not bashful AT ALL. She wouldn't be completely up the steps of a house yet before the velcro of her candy bag was ripped open in preparation for the next treat. It was so cute.


She didn't even freak out. In fact, her biggest meltdown was when we poured all her candy out at the end of the night and tried to divvy it up for ourselves. That didn't work. But once she fell asleep I think a few ghouls and goblins got into her treat bag.

Yep, our little one quickly got on board, too! She usually says, "I too shy" when we walk into a store and someone wants to talk to her, but on Halloween, after just a few stops, she was happily saying "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you" to any stranger who would listen. Ahh, the power of candy.
