Trunk or Treat

Yesterday we went to a trunk or treat event at a church close to our home. It was the 4th year in a row for Nadia and Ian. Ian was a bumblebee (like Oliver was last weekend) back in 2011. Oliver quickly figured out how to participate in a trunk or treat. He went from trunk to trunk and picked out candy, put it in his bag, and said "thank you" to each person. I tried to help him hold the bag at the end, but he kept saying "Oliver's bag." Ian didn't quite understand the point of the bag. He was trying to hold all the chips, candy, toys, etc. AND hold the bag. I finally convinced him to put all the stuff IN the bag. Then he figured out what to do. He picked the Superman costume today. It barely fit him even though it's size 2T; the pants kept hiking up so it looked like it was way too small for him, but he still looked cute! I'll have him wear the monkey costume as it's supposed to be a lot cooler that night. We saw MANY Elsa costumes last night. It was definitely the most popular costume. Ian was the only Sully, but there was another Sofia the First (a girl quite a bit younger than Nadia) and another Superman (a boy much older than Oliver).

Oliver did well in two regards yesterday. First, he had his FOURTH day in a row of not having any accidents! WOOHOO! Secondly, he slept until 7:00am (as did Ian). Paul and I were very appreciative, although then we had to kick it into high gear to get out the door by 8:05.
