I don't have pictures from Halloween yet, but I do have a funny story I want to write down before I forget. Henry had his best trick-or-treat night ever! He went up to most of the houses on his own, saying "trickortreatthankyouHAPPYHALLOWEEN" all run together like that. We kept trying to explain that you say "trick or treat" first, then get the candy, then say thank you and happy Halloween. But I guess it was enough that he was saying the proper words, and not getting frustrated or scared.

So the funny thing is-- I was laughing a lot, I guess because I was excited/nervous/apprehensive and then thrilled that the whole thing seemed to be going so well. Making a little conversation at each house, exclaiming about other children's costumes, etc. Finally Henry says, in this really low voice- like a stage whisper or something, "you want me to stop laughing" (translated: I want you to stop laughing).

I was embarrassing him! Or irritating him, or both. He's 6 years old and has PDD and is still embarrassed by his mom!
