halloween

Well Halloween was a success! About a week before Halloween we showed Garrett his costume and suggested he try it on. He wanted nothing to do with being a lion, despite how many times we put the different parts of the costume on ourselves. So, we hung it in the hallway and talked about it all week long, which didn't do much good. He got the "ROAR" part down pat, but the suggestion of putting it on was followed by a very serious "no". But, as soon as he saw other kids running around outside in their costumes, the story changed and he was willing to put it on, so we quickly changed him into the lion costume and headed out the door to play and trick or treat at a few neighbors. It was a lot of fun and he especially enjoyed passing out candy to other kids when we got back to the house.
