It is kinda not right to call this baby stuff anymore - have you seen him recently? (I promise to put up his picture in his Halloween costume this evening). He went as Buzz Lightyear, his favorite Space Ranger. This was Neel’s first ever trick-or-treating, so mommy was a little curious to see how her shy boy would fare in the kid-eat-kid-for-candy world of Halloween.
Not too shabby, really!
He did start of initially by mumbling “trickatreat” from behind his mommy before grabbing the candy and taking off after another mumbled “thankyou”. As the candy started collecting in his little pumpkin pail, he started getting bolder and into the thick of things. He was screaming, “To infinity and beyond!” like Buzz Lightyear and his “trickatreat” (that is how is says it, all one word) was a little more audible than before.
We managed to tour around the block for about an hour before I convinced him we needed to turn back. He was so excited about his candy, he could have gone on the entire night :) It was a fun experience - even funnier was how tightly he clutched his pail to himself every time some trick-or-treaters rang our doorbell - he was afraid mommy might give his candy away…Heh!
