Tonight we took you trick or treating for the first time. You were in an adorable dragon costume sent to you by your Auntie Meg. Mom went as Danyres Targarien from Game of Thrones, so she could be "mother of dragons".
We went in the lucas valley neighborhood, which is a place we might live to live some day. Your Mom's good friend Amy was back in town with her family, and they were trick or treating there.
You never got scared, despite the lights and scary sounds. You've not really had much candy in your life so far, and we wanted to condition you properly, so after your first house, we gave you one of the mini peppermint patties you had received. We knew you liked those because you went through aton of them at your great grandma's house. You liked it, smiled, laughed, got excited, and then signed "more, more!". I told you we had to go to the next house to get more. (I carried you the whole time).
At each house, i tried to get you to sign "Thank You" for the candy. You did a few times. Your mom opened a kit kat and fed it to you in pieces. We tried to find you candies that you could actually eat.
Your favorite part of the night, though, had nothing to do with candy. A bright green 8 inch glowstick made you lose your mind. You waved it around, you waved it in my face, in your face, and you grinned from ear to ear and laughed and wiggled. You thought it was the coolest thing. People kept giving them out, so by the end of the night you had quite the collection.
At home, once in bed, I let you play with your glow sticks. Figure you won't choke or anything. Can't hurt. You're still in your crib babbling away by yourself.
I dont know how much of tonight you'll remember. The kids in the neighborhood really seemed to be having a great time. I hope we get to have a lot of fun on Halloween together. I look forward to working on costumes of your choice when you're old enough to have a preference and express it.
My favorite tonight was a kid dressed as a candy vending machine. Awesome.
We both love you so much. So many people were so happy to see your adorable sweet face.
