Baby's First Loot

We took Matilda trick or treating tonight expecting to just see some decorated houses and watch all the other dressed up kids. As we approached the first house Matilda was intrigued by their scary ghost in the front window, but very apprehensive of the nice couple at the door. She wouldn't go close and ended up just saying "bye bye" mid-way through our exchange, indicating her desires. After three more houses without accepting any candy, she finally warmed up and caught the fever. Matilda really hasn't had any candy to speak of but somehow she knew there was something special about the little crinkly packages. She would just hold them up at us pleading "please, please" as if to say I know there is something more to this. By the end of the evening Matilda was charging up to each doorway and chanting "more" between stops. I think she was satisfied with just collecting the treat, must be genes from Daddy. While she did go to bed without eating any candy, I would say she had a pretty fun day as a little chicken.
