Halloween
Miles did a practice round of trick-or-treating last night in honor of Nana, Papa, and Uncle Michael’s visit.
He decided he wanted to be a green dog months ago. I waited until October to make the costume, because I thought he’d change his mind. We don’t know where he got the idea to be a green dog. As far as we know, there’s no green dog character in any of the books or videos he likes.
He stuck with the idea, though. I had some free time in early October, so I made the costume and lived in fear for the rest of the month that he was going to change his mind.
I was afraid he was going to reject it, because when we went to the mall for an indoor trick-or-treat the other night, he didn’t want to wear it at first. But when he saw the other kids in their costumes, he got into the spirit.
He enjoys being outdoors, so he’s psyched about tonight’s neighborhood trick-or-treat.
He also enjoys candy.
