Happy Halloween

Gavin and I traveled to my friend Karen's (Fairfax, VA), to spend Halloween evening with her and her two beautiful children, Jackson and Jenna.

This Halloween was definitely the most fun I've had with Gavin.
He "got it"! He said "Trick or Treat"!
Dressed as a Dalmation, he was quite a determined Trick-or-Treater, insisting on pushing his pumpkin in a baby stroller (courtesy of Jenna). The stroller kept him on track, as he moved from house to house, never crossing the grass, insisting on the sidewalk. He was very focused on getting the pumpkin stroller up the steps to the door and then back down, requiring that the treat-giver be quick, or risk seeing only his puppy rear. A couple of times, when the people were especially nice, Gavin would just walk into the house. As you may imagine, I spent a lot of time running up to the door, prompting him with "trick or treat" and "thank you" or redirecting him from their home with profuse apologies. Next year we'll work on teaching him to eat his treats, as I've compensated for his food aversions by personally cleaning out is pumkin bucket.
