Declan’s 6th Halloween and he chose to be Super Mario. Great costume to wear to school when you’re in kindergarten. I was lucky enough to have the day off and could attend the morning costume parade at the school. The Kindergarten kids lead the parade and they’re so proud. Declan was so happy to have me there to see him. There were three Super Mario’s in total but Declant was the only one in Kindergarten.
When it came time for trick or treating he was very excited. This year he was also very brave. He walked to the houses on his own and rang the bell or knocked. He was patient if there were other kids and he said Thank you and Happy Halloween when he left each house. Other parents commented on how nice it was that he walked around the lawns instead of just cutting through the gardens. Mr. Popular also ran into kids he knew from school. There was one house that goes all out and makes their garage a haunted house. Everyone was dressed up with creepy faces and Declan was brave enough to go inside to get his candy. The creepy faced people high-five’d him as he walked out.
When we got home he dumped out his loot and ate chocolate and chips right away. He was respectful when I told him he’d had enough though and was easy to get to bed even after all of the excitement. After stories, hugs and kisses Daddy and I were leaving Declan’s room when he called me back. He wanted to give me another hug...and kiss....and then he looked right at me and “bopped” me on the nose with his tiny finger.
So much joy in this one.
