Halloween

Leif was still not too into the idea of dressing up for Halloween this year, so we did not take him trick-or-treating, but we did break from our tradition of turning the lights off and pretending we're not home on October 31st. Not wanting to have a bunch of leftover chocolate around the house, we purchased mini packs of gummy bears (which we had already been using as potty rewards for Leif) to hand out to the kids who came to our house. Once Leif got that the big bowl of gummy bears by the front door was only for kids who wore a costume and said, "Trick or treat!", he agreed to try on his Tigger costume from last year, which fortunately still fit him. He still was not crazy about pulling the hood up over his head, but at least having a costume on didn't make him cry the way it did last year! Maybe in 2013 we'll actually make it out trick-or-treating to a few houses other than our own.
