Dave unfortunately had to work last night so Miles and I were left to figure out what to do on Halloween with just the two of us. We fortunately live in a great neighborhood and were invited to tag along with a few of our neighbors for trick-or-treating. Last year we only went to a couple of houses of people we knew so this was his first experience with real trick-or-treating. I figured he'd love running around the neighborhood with his friends.
We had a great little group of trick-or-treaters and even picked up a couple more along the way. One of those added to the group was an older boy dressed up as a vampire. Miles was scared to death of him! He ended up in the stroller for a while. He did some trick-or-treating that way which was making me laugh so hard. I finally "forced" him to get over his fear and join the others in running around and he agreed. He caught on to the process fairly quickly and would even say his own version of trick-or-treat, "oo oo treat!" He was very polite and would say "thank-you" too. He is such a sweet little boy.
We didn't make it as far as the others did before a full blown meltdown began to happen, but for his first official trick-or-treat I think he did a great job. It was pretty much bedtime anyway so we came home and handed out candy for a while before we called it a night. We had a lot of fun and are so thankful for such wonderful neighbors and a great neighborhood!
