it rained on halloween, but we still stuck it through a neighborhood party in the intermittent storms... several impromptu "under the umbrella" conversations were had with neighbors. By the time we left and went trick-or-treating, the rain mostly had passed. We had pre-arranged the delivery of healthy treats at several of the neighbors houses so that Mercer could get the trick-or-treat experience without being introduced to candy just yet. (a good compromise, we think). Several of his favorite treats were bestowed upon him and he was thrilled. Annie's cheddar bunnies (like goldfish), raisins, and organic kid's granola bar snacks. By the time he reached the last house that we were taking him to, he handed our neighbor his bucket -- as to say put something inside!! He definitely got the hang of it!this picture is of Mercer on the way to the party decked out in his lion costume. (my thrift-store "moon shoes" are in the foreground - i was an astronaut-in-training) We didn't work on the phrase, but he did get the hang of "roar" thankfully that evening!
Oh - and he said another sentence that night "I want that."
He did get "play" with candy that night and had no interest in eating it. (He was interested in opening a 2nd box of raisins that evening, as seen here.) Dumping out the bowl of treats we had and putting it back into the bowl. He likes to do this with other things... taking them out of their containers... putting them back in... taking them out... putting them back in. It's been interesting to watch his development.
