Trick-or-Treating

Nakiah had a very busy Halloween. I left work early so Meega and I could take my little dinosaur trick or treating. Our first stop was to see the girls in my office.
Nakiah getting her first treat from Tara
She's such a good girl...she chose the toy over the candy....
at least for a minute :)
Next stop was Auntie Fave's shop, where she was totally spoiled! Auntie Fave let Nakiah wear part of her costume Can you see the excitement on Nakiah's face
I don't think the boa was her favorite
Next stop...Howmac to see Grammy and Auntie Misty
She had fun showing off for everyone Grammy even dressed up for Halloween too
After Howmac came GG & Papa's House, Daddy's work, a nap, a snack and then it was off to the parade.
Miss Independent did NOT want Mommy holding her hand....
We met up with Leah and James and Anna, a.k.a Raphael the Ninja Turtle and the sweetest skunk ever!
Nakiah's excitement and awe helped land us at the very end of the parade. :) We kept telling her to hurry and she would start running and say "un, un, un, un, un" which is of course run in Nakiah
She even had a chance to practice her parade wave
Our final stop was back to GG & Papa's house.
Casey and Tammy ended up stopping by with Bailey, so the girls had a chance to play together for the first time in a very long time
It took them a little while, but they warmed up to each other.
Nakiah kept trying to kiss Bailey and Bailey even patted Nakiah on the butt/tail
After a very long day of dressing/undressing (Nakiah couldn't sit in her car seat with the tail so every time we got back in the car, the costume had to come off) poor girl was pretty much over Halloween and totally done with pictures
She just wanted to be left to her stash

Two things I learned this Halloween:

1. Costumes with tails, although very cute, are NOT practical for a toddler when you have several stops to make in a short amount of time.

2. When a child is not dressed as a fairy, cheerleader, flower or something pink, they are automatically classified as he/him/little guy. :)
