Alex doesn't want to wear a costume this year. He loves to read books about costumes and he likes to look at other kid's costumes but wants nothing to do with wearing one. For whatever reason it makes him nervous, so that is perfectly fine with me if he just wants to look at other costumes.
Yesterday we went to the downtown Halloween walk - most of the businesses on Front St. give out treats or little toys. It was crazy down there. A couple places that ran out of candy told us they had gone thru 1500 pieces, and were only giving one piece per child! One person made a comment about Alex's lack of costume :( I told him that just because dressing up made him nervous shouldn't mean he had to miss out on the rest of the fun.....he was like..."oh...guess I didn't think of that, I thought you just didn't dress him up" Um, yeah.
Alex said on the way home that he "loved to trick or treat" and "liked looking at costumes" so I count the day as a success!
