Katie's costume was Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street. She was thrilled about it, although there was a tense moment when she decided at 5:30 that she'd rather be Cinderella instead ("with a dress and a crown"). We talked her out of it, given that we had neither a blue dress nor a crown, and Cinderella doesn't get to wear wings or carry a wand. We got the costume on her before she could change her mind, then she ran circles around the house in delight.
While Daddy stayed home to man the door and hand out candy to our trick or treaters, Katie and Mommy went door to door in the neighborhood.
Coopertown is a fabulous neighborhood for trick or treating, with friendly neighbors, great treats and lots and lots of children. While Katie needed some prompting to say "trick or treat," she did wish everyone a happy Halloween and thank them for her candy. She did a little caroling, too... when the stars came out, she sang "Twinkle, Twinkle" at the top of her lungs all the way down the street.
The best part might have been when we got home. Katie loved the idea of greeting the trick or treaters at the door and helping Sri give out candy. (By the way, she knows our first names now -- and her grandparents' -- and likes to introduce us by them.)
In fact, she was so excited that when it was time to settle down and eat a snack, she insisted on sitting in her high chair facing out the open front door so that she wouldn't miss anything. Sorry, no pic of this one, but here's some video from earlier this week and tonight:
All in all, it was a great evening, and Katie will be enjoying her loot for weeks to come! Click below for a few more pictures of our Halloween fun.
