Halloween

This year was Zoe's first time trick-or-treating. Zoe loves dinosaurs right now, so I decided to dress her as one. Turns out, this must be the year for dinosaurs, as we saw quite a few others as we walked from house to house. Zoe quickly caught on that if she walked up to a door and opened her bag, she would get something. Funny thing is, she's never had candy, and I didn't really plan on giving her any of it. She carried that bag for almost an hour before deciding it was too heavy and asked me to carry it. Just as she was about to give up and call it a night, one lady gave her a lollipop to hold. Well, she clutched on to that thing so tight and then tried to eat it - paper and all! I unsuccessfully tried to pry it out of her hands, but she wouldn't have it. When we got back to the house, I gave in and unwrapped the lollipop, and Zoe enjoyed her first official piece of candy. She gave it back after a few minutes and said, "Trash, mommy." Guess she's not a candy fan. Thankfully, she won't miss her Halloween bag of treats that I gave away today.
