We dressed you up as a dinosaur this year, Mommy thought the costume was too cute. So we bought it about a month before the big day and worked on getting you to roar all month! We have a little toy dino that roars and by Halloween you were roaring up a storm on your own!
One day we did a dry run and put your costume on and then I took you to the mirror to show you what you looked like. You stared and stared and then burst out crying!! Not the best idea. I rushed you away from the mirror and you wouldn't have anything to do with the outfit for weeks. I hung it up near your toys so you could make friends with it but as the day approached it wasn't looking good. But finally, on the Saturday night when we went to the Chase's Halloween party you had no problems with it and wore it all night, phew!
Here we are dressed up and ready to go to the party!
Dino kisses for Mommy (aka Audrey).
On the big day the next night, Auntie Shannon came to visit and we went Trick or Treating around our block. You were a pro! You were a little unsure about what to do at first but got the hang of it quickly! We would walk you up to the door and say "knock, knock" and after the first few houses you were saying "knock, knock" on your own! First time!
After a while you would walk up to the door and try the knob! Haha!
We told you that when the door opened you should scare the person with a big roar. You were so good at it. The person would open the door and you would take a second to evaluate the situation with a pause and then say "roar" rather unenthusiastically. But if the person acted along and was quite scared you would get really bold and shout "ROAR!" and stamp your foot! We were all laughing like crazy, it was too funny!
As we were walking by the little park we take you to at the bottom of the street, you strayed over there and wanted to have a little pit stop at the swings. We indulged you for a couple a minutes and then carried on!
All in all a super successful night! Looking forward to next year!
