Nate was Thomas the Train for Halloween. Much to my surprise he would not wear his costume. I thought for sure he would love to be a train. I tried to show him the other kids in their costume and showed him how they got candy so he took his Elmo bucket and started helping himself to the candy we were giving out!!
Finally we decided we were going to put him in the costume. Jim held him and I stuffed him in!!! He wasn't too happy at first. And we took him to our neighbor Bruno's house. He wasn't too sure but Bruno sat down on his steps and told him he could pick out some candy. Then we went to Ellen's house. Again, wasn't too sure but here again she put candy in his basket!!! He quickly realized how cool this gig was!! So Ellen and I were chatting a bit and Nate kept asking me to go! He was all over trick or treating!
I suspect next year he'll be all over Halloween. He was however, a little afraid of a couple of people in their costumes as we were walking around. There was one guy dressed as a marshmallow from the pacman game. Nate shrieked when he saw him. Other than that, he really loved it in the end!
