Halloween

James enjoyed Halloween tonight. When we were going door-to-door he yelled "trick or treat!" in an appropriately gleeful tone. He said "Thank you" most of the time. We went through the routine pretty much like everyone else, except for a few minor things. James kept touching all the cars and tried to open their doors. He also got a little too close to people and went straight for the candy instead of holding out his bag, but he adjusted well after a few verbal instructions.

When we got back to the house he set up a little chair outside of the garage and decided it was his job to hand out the candy. He kept laughing and yelled "trick or treat!" to all the visitors, which of course, everyone thought was cute. Overall, he was very happy and well-behaved.

Earlier he said he wanted to go to a haunted house, but I wasn't so sure--he's only used to the kiddie ones at school or therapy. When I showed him the web site for a haunted house show in town he said, "too scary." It'll be a while for him.
