My Lil Monster

Cartney’s first outing for trick-or-treating went pretty well. He went as a monster and even growled for some of the neighbors.

He had to be carried from house to house, mostly because I didn’t have the patience to allow him to collect sticks and pine cones from off the sidewalk. But once at the next house, he would climb the porch stairs and knock on the doors, and then act shy when the neighbors put candy in his plastic pumpkin. He wouldn’t say “trick or treat” but as I explained to everyone, he was new at this.
