Little Bug had a huge break through this weekend- voluntarily putting on his Thomas the Tank Engine costume in order to go trick or treating. We tried asking him and that didn’t go well. Nick and I had already decided we weren’t going to make it an issue, because at that point, it would be for us and not him.
Well, it took 3 trick-or-treaters before he changed his mind. You could see his little brain turning it over again and again- ridiculous outfits and saying tick or feet gets me candy… I can do that. As soon as he broke this down, he grabbed his costume and but bolted out the door.
We had a great time doing this. He went up to the doors on his own free will. He knocked on the door and, at first said, “TICK OR FEET PEASE!” Gradually, he forgot that you should say trick or treat and began to say, “Want potty feet pease!” Some people wanted to know what the heck he was asking for while others just laughed hysterically and gave him huge handfuls of candy for being cute.
Nick and I had a great time. It was amazing to see him do this. We felt lucky because we were able to witness a huge milestone for our child. Something we weren’t sure would ever happen. Something that we gave up. We are so grateful for this. We are given opportunities to appreciate milestones and events that everyone assumes will always happen.
