He's Ready

Matthew has heard an awful lot of discussion about Halloween. Because this is his first Halloween, Matthew will undoubtedly have several different costumes instead of the traditional ONE, and he has so much to learn.

The skeleton has already made an appearance at a photo session.

Although Matthew is not technically allowed to eat candy, he has already shown signs that he will enjoy Halloween. First, Matthew loves to eat. Eating is probably his top two favorite things to do. Since Matthew's mother is responsible for most of his meals, perhaps her increased candy consumption will lead to an indirect sugar high.

Second, Matthew likes the smell of chocolate. Opening a package of fun size chocolate candy bars around him elicits a response similar to steak around a dog. Matthew's nose begins twitching and he starts to drool.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly around Halloween, Matthew loves attention. As if being a baby did not draw enough attention, just dress him up in a costume, or put him in bright orange. Trick or Treat indeed.

Did somebody say Candy?
