Weston was pleased with the aftermath of his Halloween adventure. CANDY. Getting to this point was not so easy.
The afternoon trial run: 1) attempt to put puppy costume on child, 2) child runs screaming, 3) force puppy costume onto child's body, 4) child continues to scream, kick, flail arms, etc., 5) put child down for nap and hope for a better result later.
So, later that day Weston would not come near the puppy costume and we moved to the alternative....a train engineer costume that was too big. A few safety pins and rolling the pant legs about five times did the trick. We had crying again, but made the trek to town anyway hoping that having other kids around would put a smile on our little man's face.
And that it did....once Hannah and J. showed Weston how it's done, he was all over it....even leading the pack down the street to the next house.
Needless to say, CANDY will nearly always solve your kid's problem.
