We talked to her about it for a few days leading up to it. She was really excited about it and practiced saying "Trick or Treat" all day long. Then when she say her costume a saw it had a stethoscope and everything else, she REALLY got excited!!
Daddy helping her get dressed and showing her that the stethoscope really works!
All dressed and Jude is a lobster, but HATED the lobster hat! Julia's lab coat even had "Dr. Julia" embroidered on it!
At first she was really concerned about all these people wearing scary masks. This was something I did not thing about, otherwise I would have talked to her about it before hand.
She was pretty leary about anybody with a mask on.
This is how Jude went trick or treating. He was not impressed!
After a few houses, she relaxed and REALLY got into it. She started running house to house!
After about 20-30 minutes she had enough. I figured as much. I was just glad she enjoyed it.
Next we went off to the grandparent's houses. She decided Jude needed a checkup and Mimi and Bapa's.
It turned out that all the grandkids ended up at my parent's house, so we tried to get a picture of all seven of them together. We had 3 cameras and took probably 12 pictures and this was probably the best one of the bunch. At least they were all in it!!
Our town does trick or treating tomorrow. We just might take Julia out again if she really wants to do it again. I figured she will tire out again within 30 minutes. This way she gets some use out of the costume. Although she had not taken it off yet since yesterday. (I do get it off of her at night and her into real pajamas!) I suspect that she will be playing with it A LOT!! If we do go trick or treating again, we will not torture Jude again with a costume and just let him ride peacefully in the stroller!
