Trick Or Treat!
Halloween- a crazy made up holiday for kids to go get candy as they are dressed up as something they chose to be. My niece was a little Native American which she loved and enjoyed being. As all the grown ups around her asked her what she was, Xianah with her attitude and personality would reply with "I am an Indian", which was adorable. Like all the other crazed children in the world all this kid wanted to do was to get candy and find her way to the bottom of her little candy pail. She happily and independently went up to the houses and asked for candy. Since she is only three and doesn't understand that when the porch lights are off no one will give you candy, and she would have her little meltdowns on those trips. It was a blast to see her so happy and energetic to get candy. Also to see her looking through her pail to eat some candy, but it being late and her being three she wasn't allowed candy but maybe a piece. The night was fun and it was fun seeing her get scared with the fake and horrible decorations that will only really scare toddlers and people who are easily scared. I noticed that on this day the whole world is all crazy getting candy, giving candy, trying to keep the kids happy and free from meltdowns. It is crazy to see what a made up holiday can do to people.The night was worth it and it was time well spent with a crazed Native American with some attitude and crankiness from all the walking and wanting candy. Hope to do that with her again next year.

It's amazing how holidays make adults remember what it is like to be a child. Perhaps that's why they go out of their way to decorate and make it special for the children.
ReplyDeleteI think the little ones are always the cutest who are trick or treating. It's fun to see them go crazy that one night when they dress up and ask for candy.
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute! I think it's so cute when little kids dress up and are so excited for Halloween. It makes me kind of sad how now us older teens don't feel the same.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great! It reminds when I was little and how exciting it is to trick-or-treat. Your niece is so cute! I like the way you describe her excitement.
ReplyDeleteWell first of all she looks freaking adorable(: . I agree with everyone else, I feel like the reason we make holidays such as Halloween, Christmas or Easter such a big deal is it reminds us of our childhood experiences and we want to do the same for our kids.
