Halloween

We had quite a dilemma this Halloween on what Noah was going to dress up as. We had planned to go to our church's fall festival and also do a little trick-or-treating in a nearby neighborhood. It was the first year he really had some input on his costume and once he has his mind set on something it's hard to change it!

At first, he wanted to be a flamingo and then it was a wolf. We had a hard time finding any outfit in his size that he was excited about, but we finally found a lion costume that he liked. However, he made it perfectly clear to us that even though he'd be dressed as a lion, he was not going to roar for anyone. Not sure where that came from, but he stuck with it and we didn't hear a roar from him at all!

When we first got to the fall festival, he didn't want to wear the head-piece of the costume, so he wore his winter hat. But he finally came around and wore it for a little bit. On Halloween, he surprised me how much he actually liked trick-or-treating. He was shy with the neighbors, but really, really excited about the candy!
