I've known since July of last year what Theo would be for Halloween. Unfortunately, it took nearly a year to get him comfortable wearing the hat required for his costume, so my vision for him didn't come true until this year. Theo was a very happy and excited Mickey Mouse, à la The Sorcerer's Apprentice. We only watch Fantasia (the sequel) a million times and listen to the soundtrack every single time we are in the car, so this was a perfect costume for him.
Vivi was a grumpy Minnie Mouse, but we managed to get a semi-decent photo of her and Theo together.
A very strange thing about our town is that the kids start trick-or-treating right after school at like, 4:00 pm. It was very weird handing out candy in broad daylight, but it was still fun and Theo had the best time. He finally got into it this year, and learning the phrase "trick or treat!" just in time for the day. As for any candy binges, Theo ripped into his treat bag from a class Halloween party one afternoon and had probably six pieces of candy all in a row. But besides that, he's been pretty good about forgetting about the candy and not eating it all at once. (We still have a fair amount of his candy haul left.)
I'm so glad Theo had such fun this year and finally gets the anticipation of upcoming holidays, especially now that he knows what happens with each one. It just means that his excitement next year will be even bigger!
