Kind of got it? We took him first to our ward Trunk or Treat....he made it to 3 cars...in 45 minutes.
Car #1 he didn't know what was up and didn't really want people putting stuff in his bucket (granted he didn't even really want to hold the bucket).
Car #2 he figured stuff goes from one bucket into his bucket and he sat there for 10 minutes taking one piece of candy from that person's treat bucket and putting it in his own. Fun game for a toddler. Before we left this car I grabbed most of it and put it back.
Car #3, gave him 2 things a plastic snake, which to a 15 month old is just as good as candy, and a sucker...Game Over. Suckers are the candy to rule all candies in this kid's mind. He can hold it, suck on it, wipe it all over his face and hands, and as long as we aren't in the house or in the car and baby wipes are handy, mommy doesn't care...could it get any better.
This Superman....
This Superman...
On Halloween, we went around our culdesac. Halloween is fun in Texas, everybody just sits out in their driveway and waits for the kids to come by. We went to about 5 houses this time...in about 30 minutes (improvement). He carried his bucket about half the time. I was carrying it when we got to the last house. This was our friend's house, and just when I was thinking he still didn't really get the point, he grabbed the bucket from me and ran up to her so she could put some candy in his bucket. My kid is so smart!
She gave him a few treats and then he looked in her bucket and saw...you guessed it...a sucker. Game Over. He tore into that immediately, sat down on the ground and just went to town.
Note to self, no suckers before bedtime, crazy child will result.
And finally, this superman...
(probably too much information, but it was a first (of probably many) for me).

seeing a bit of Jer in him in this last picture. Maybe not 100% amy anymore?!
The first time Zach went trick-or-treating he got a sucker at the first house and was done for the rest of the night.
