Halloween on Southport!

This afternoon, around halftime (as the Patriots were destroying the Bears), Kyle and I went to meet some of his Loyola friends (Olivia, Elin, JD, Ellie, Ryan, and Lydia) who were having fun trick-or-treating on Southport. This was Kyle's very first experience trick-or-treating. It was neat to see how in awe he was when a little girl handed him a piece of candy, even though he didn't quite get the concept of saying trick-or-treat, thank you, or Happy Halloween to people. He was also memorized by many of the costumes, especially all the other little Olafs, and the Spiderman he came in contact with. The day was beautiful. The only minor hiccup was that Kyle had fallen asleep during our car ride to the trick-or-treating block party, so he wasn't the most pleasant little party goer. In fact, I couldn't really do anything to change his mood about taking pictures, talking to his friends, or even walking up straight. He remained adamant about remaining the little whiner he had woken up as, and that was that. Even though it took a lot out of me to carry him and do my best to calm his tears, kicks, and wiggles, I think it was a good experience for him, and I'm glad he got to see all the other kiddos in costume. Every one was super cute :)
