"Treater treat!"
"Ghost house scary!"
"That store closed." (Referring to houses that were dark and not giving out candy)
"Treater treat in my mouth?"
These were just a few of the phrases we heard last night while taking Benjamin on his first trick-or-treating experience. He figured out the drill pretty quickly and had no problem going up to the houses, knocking on the door, and receiving the candy that was put out in front of him. Some residents let him pick out his own or told him to take a certain number, in which case I had to intervene to keep him from emptying the whole bowl into his bucket! We also had to remind him several times not to go into the houses, but rather just stand on the doorstep. He was such a polite little giraffe, saying thank you each time a treat was dropped into his bucket. He even shared with Mom and Dad when we got home. Now I wonder if he'll notice that a significant amount of his stash has gone missing since he went to bed? I better go hide the candy wrappers...
