Halloween was a great success this year! My mom and dad came over for dinner and then we suited up Ajax in his costume. All four of us took him to some of our neighbors and then my mom stayed home to pass out candy and my dad, Dave, and I took Ajax serious trick-or-treating. The weather actually held out, it was overcast and cold, but no rain. Ajax totally got the hang of things this year and was so excited going from house to house. A few masks did scare him, but we did a good job pointing out that they were just people in masks and that such things were funny and not scarey. He seemed to buy this.
Everyone complimented him on his costume and one little girl took one look at Ajax and said, oh you’re Woody. Ajax just kept walking and said, yea that’s right, I am. We went strong for over an hour, but by 7 pm Ajax was asking us to carry his treats for him and we decided to head home to see how grandma was fairing. We actually let Ajax have a piece of candy this year and this was clearly a highlight of his night.
Overall, Halloween as excellent. Everyone had a blast and we’re excited at how into Halloween Ajax was this year.
