Logan almost missed his chance to go Trick or Treating this year. From Saturday October 23rd through Tuesday November 2nd he was impossible. No matter what we said or did he just screamed NO and I DON'T WANT TO and just pure ugliness. We call it his Poltergeist voice cuz he sounds totally possessed. It's funny but not b/c it makes you just so mad. He just got filled with hatefullness, anger, and just violence for that week. It was horrible and I cried several times. I felt life was starting to spin out of control and didn't seem to be getting better, just worse!!!
Well after a week of this meanness we had to do something. I didn't like where all that was going. I was losing my sweet little boy. And it scared the heck out of me. All I could think of was Oh no, what's it gonna be like when he's 12, 13, 14 and it's gone on like this. He will hate us, resent us, and vice versa and one night he'll just decide to do something horrible and unthinkable to us. I know that it a little far fetched but I couldn't help it.
Now, I digress! Sorry!
After the costume was put away, constantly fighting him to eat dinner, and threat after threat of no trick or treating I had a change of heart. We ended up staying out for about an hour and a half. That is a long time for a 2 year old but Logan just kept saying "Mommy, I want more candy" So we kept going looking for those houses with their porch lights on. Even though he was over it, wanted to be carried, was tired "for walking" we trudged on in search of more candy. He was the cutest little horse I've ever seen! He loved his costume and so did we. It's the first costume we tried on, it was $10 at Kid to Kid www.kidtokid.com and just fit him to a T! After he saw that he didn't even want to look at any more costumes which made us pretty happy too!
Glad I decided to take him out trick or treating. I think I would have regretted it later, felt guilty, and just plain mean! I also got some cute photos of my little foal! :)
