Following at a semi-invisible distance behind the costumed girls, The Husband and I had time to talk to each other. We wondered if this was our last year of trick-or-treating. Next year she will be in middle school and may want to attend a party instead.
All the little kids were so cute, there were lots of babies dressed as chicks and ducks and toddlers dressed as dragons and dinosaurs, many princesses and super heros and of course many kinds of vampires, witches and monsters. But our girl has never yet worn anything scary for Halloween.
When My Kid was a baby we put her in a red chili pepper bunting
When she was one she was a ladybug.
When she was two she was a puppy.
When she was three she was a frog
When she was four she was Spider Man
When she was five she was Greg Wiggle
When she was six she was Belle
When she was seven she was a cheerleader-spy
When she was eight she was Hannah Montana
When she was nine she was Alex from “Wizards of Waverly Place”
This year she was a girl robot.
Sigh.
