[blparent] Halloween.

The rules change at Christmas too. "See that old guy? Now, go sit on his lap
and tell him what you want for Christmas. Trust me, he knows where you live
and can get into house when we're all asleep. And, remember he loooooves
you!"
A lot of what we tell kids doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about
it.

Hey, Bernadetta, I've been wondering how you were.

A dragon, that's cool.  It occurred to me that every other day of the year,
we tell our little ones not to go up to unfamiliar houses, not to talk to
strangers, not to take candy from people they don't know.  But on Halloween,
the rules all change.

As far as sweets, heck yeah!  My daughter got a bunch of candy.  She's
plenty willing to share, but snagging a few favorite sweets out of the loot
is one of the perks of parenthood!

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Hey everyone,
I know I seemed to disappear from the list for a while, but I've been here
all along--just hadn't had much time to contribute to any threads lately.
My partner and I took our son out trick or treating for the first time.
He's almost two years old now. We had a blast--we walked around two
different neighborhoods and the kidlet got a bunch of treats. It's too bad I
dont' usually let him have any sweets yet. I guess I can make a bit of an
exception since it's this time of year. lol He was a dragon, and he got a
ton of compliments on his costume, so though he was quite confused about the
idea of trick-or-treating at first, he got more confident the more he
realized people loved his outfit.
All in all, Halloween was a great success in this neck of the woods, which
is awesome because we were looking forward to it.
I'll be sure to get back on track with the list a bit more--I miss writing
in. :)

Best
Bernadetta
PS:
Fess up, parents. How many of you will be sneaking a couple treats out of
your kids' bags? (or how many of you have already done so)?
My partner has a serious sweet tooth so
I bet he snuck a few peanut butter cups or twix, though he won't confess. 
lol
