Tae...Tre...Tree-Tree

AKA--The development of the words Trick or Treat for a Snow White toddler from last night.

Snow White had immense fun as soon as she realized that people were giving away CANDY every time she walked up to a door and knocked.  I look forward to the day where I can explain and be understood that this only works once a year.

We got dressed at Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Walkup's and started with one of their neighbors.  Snow White held my hand and went up to the door but when the door opened and the woman came outside, my little TrTing princess wanted to leave....well, until she saw what was in the bowl.  We began the phrase of the night.

Momma:  "Can you say trick or treat?"
Alyssa:  "No."

You see now how this developed.  Over the course of only one night we got to Tree Tree.  I think we did amazingly well!  She got really good at putting her candy into her bucket and carrying it around on her arm.  She LOVED being handed candy or getting to choose it herself.  We didn't go to many houses (one cul d sac and one block elsewhere) but she got a haul.  To think...this was supposed to limit our candy intake by reducing the amount of houses...dang.

I'm going to leave you with one more picture of Snow White and I hope you had a Happy Halloween!
