Paige had her first trick-or-treating experience. After a little coaxing, daddy was able to get her to walk across the street with him to visit 4 houses. She got quite a bit of loot. The highlight of the evening for me was when she was directly across the street at a house and turned around and yelled "MAMA" and waved. Brought tears to my eyes. She caught on very quickly that the procedure was to get a candy from the bowl and wait for a kid to come and open their bag. She would then drop the candy in and get a new one. Since the night was so warm we had our door open most of the night, watching the kids and waiting for them to arrive. Paige would often just stand with an outstretched arm and a candy ready to go. After she got used to handing out the candy, she thought it was a better idea to leave the house and run down the driveway repeatedly. That's when we finally had to close the door and let her eat her first mini chocolate bar.

I can just imagine how you felt when she waved and yelled MAMA......those are the things that make it all worthwhile. What a little doll. I love the picture of the outstretched arm with the candy in her hand. Gramama
