Best Halloween Ever
Julian looked so cute. And ohmygawd was he awesome.
His nap was messed up today because we wanted to stop and have lunch with Nana since I had Julian in his costume since he woke up. I wanted her to see her hard work in action. So I had to wake him up after he fell asleep in the car for 10 minutes. His Nana gave him his treats in the form of board books which he LOVED. Especially because the one had a big, black cat and the other came with crayons.
We then repeated the sleep scenario on the way home. Normally he'll transfer to the bed but not today so we had a very delirious boy for the afternoon until he surrendered to a very late nap - which then led to a very cranky boy when he woke up. And he cried through most of dinner which I blame on his totally purple, almost bloody looking gum where his bottom molar is poking through. He kept grabbing at his mouth and I felt so terrible for him. It wasn’t looking good for our night ahead. But many bites of Pepper Steak later he was better and we headed out.
We kind of pushed him along to the first house.
He left there with a bewildered look on his face thinking "what just happened?" But he kept on going and carried his glowing candy receptacle the entire way. We didn't plan on going far but he was having fun and so we kept on chugging.
He was seriously the hit of the neighborhood. He had people ooohing and aahhing over him all night, the attention was overwhelming. Little kids were saying how cute he was. Well how cute SHE was but we're used to that. He wasn't really grasping the concept that you needed to actually get within inches of the person handing out the candy or that you should proceed to the next house instead of turning around to go back to the house you just came from. BUT by the end of the night he was getting the hang of it. His candy basket was getting too heavy for him so he handed it to me but when we got to the next house he politely asked for it back and went up to the door. He knew he needed to bring his pumpkin to get the candy. Man this kid just kills me.
Julian kept pointing out the moon and stars over and over. He walked the whole way home, we didn’t' have to carry him at all and then he had just as much fun handing out the candy as he did collecting it. Then the big, bad Mama had to take it all away.
Cute costume but sure is reflective.
