Tricks With Treats-Day 6, Continued

Today we learned a little bit more about tricks that Slugger can do. My favorite is "Bang". I'll have to get a video. We all know by now that Slugger is totally motivated by food and treats. So, Halloween is an awesome holiday for him! He got lots of treats today when we were practicing all of his tricks. I am sure that he will be popular with the kids in Cole's pre-school class.

Tonight, after training, we had a Halloween party with all of the staff. Cole and Bug were quite a hit as the Pirate King and Captain Slugger. We practiced for two days with his hat, since he absolutely hates stuff on his head.Can't you just hear him think Seriously, Mom?

He kept it on really well though after all of our practice and they looked so cute! Brian of course, thinks that I am insane for making him wear it. Cole took his costume a little bit too literally and pilfered and plundered this treat bucket.Then he tried to share his treasure with Captain Slugger!Trick Or Treat!They had a small Trunk Or Treat for the kids. This was Cole's very first time ever Trick Or Treating for real. If you remember other Halloweens, it has just been too much for him. We went to two houses his first year, but he couldn't eat anything. The last two years (remember the chicken and the Scuba Diver?) were just too overstimulating. Plus, he can't have candy. Well, he shouldn't have candy. Now that he is off of the diet, this rule is not quite so strict, so Daddy gave him a little piece of the treasure.Here is what Cole thought about Halloween!
Pretty exciting.

There were awesome costumes in our class. So many, that I had to make a slideshow! I even missed a few really good ones. Like Shaggy the dog being Scooby Doo and his boy being "Shaggy". There was also a UPS man and the UPS truck. I will try and get the other kids pictures tomorrow.It has been SO much fun to be here during a holiday. It gives us an excuse to get together after class and just adds another level of excitement.Happy Howl-oween! From our Favorite Houdini Howler and the peg leg Pirate King (you think that I would have planned it, but I actually bought the costumes a couple of months ago!)
