Happy Halloween from the Edwards Family!!Trey started off the day like a typical Saturday - sleeping in and then heading to music class with Mommy (where he knows his teacher is Ms. "Anna," whom, according to Trey, says "la la la."). Later that afternoon, Trey watched Daddy carve the pumpkins we picked up at Dewberry Farms. And shortly after that, it was time for Trey to put on his monkey costume.
Even though Trey had been excitedly saying "monkey" all day, when we put on the costume, something snapped. Trey just was not happy at all. I guess he wasn't really wild about the idea of dressing up as a monkey, although he didn't seem to realize that the costume was what was bothering him; he never tugged or pulled at his costume, but rather was just plain unhappy.
Posing for "official" Halloween pictures was a challenge.
Nevertheless, we tried the official trick-or-treating routine and visited a few houses. Trey was incredibly shy and insisted on Daddy holding him to walk in between houses. Usually Mr. Social, Trey would not talk to tell the neighbors what his costume was, to attempt saying "trick or treat," or even to say hi (he did occasionally say "bye bye"). Oh well, we tried.
Trey had a much better time after we ditched the monkey costume and sat outside our house to greet trick-or-treaters. We even broke down and gave Trey a piece or two of candy - probably the first candy he has ever had! Trey loved our frequent visitors and was such a good helper handing out the candy to the other boys and girls. He is going to be such a precious little Santa at Christmas this year!
We hope everyone had a very happy and safe Halloween!!!
