Zoe survived her second Halloween. We carved our pumpkins earlier in the day and Zoe loved giving hugs to the ghosts that Wendy and I made. This one was a little harder to get enthusiastic about because we were expecting the worst, hoping for the best. Zoe is pretty timid and very cautious in new situations these days, but she surprised us both. She is getting over another cold and is teething like CRAZY! ( The molars are NO fun!) All of that in combination seemed like it would make for a pretty miserable time. BUT Zoe had a blast! She took a couple of houses to warm up to the idea, but when she realized that she was getting something from every neighbor when she knocked on the door, it really made her want to go to more houses. It was so fun to see her face light up with surprise and her run from house to house. Once she got to the door she would knock and say, "knock, knock". We couldn't quite get the "trick or treat" words...(I should have practiced with her more, but oh well!) She was pretty scared of any costume with a mask, she would say, "scary, uppie", but overall did great. When she was finished, she took each piece of candy/crackers out of her bag and thought it was the greatest thing ever. After we put her down for the night, I got rid of all signs of candy in our house, so that she wouldn't ask for any. (It worked! Since Sunday, she has not asked for any candy.)
