Tonight was his first-ever trick-or-treating adventure, which started at his friend Julia's house (where her parents kicked things off with a bonfire, cupcakes, and beers for the adults).
Once we started knocking on doors, Graham remembered to say "trick or treat!" and "thank you!" at every house... proud parents are we.
The most memorable part of the night was that for some reason Graham thought he needed to trade his piece of candy from the previous house in order to get a new piece. As a mother who would love it if her son's teeth didn't rot out, I thought that was perfect— he would end up with only one piece of candy at the end of the night! But once he tried to put an already sucked-on lollipop into someone else's candy bowl in order to get a new treat... then we had to break the news that in fact, he got to keep everything and didn't need to trade.
And the stockpiling began.
