This Halloween is my first Halloween were I was giving out the candy. It seems in my neighborhood that if you want to give candy to the people asking for it, you stand at the end of your driveway and hand it out.
Anyway, Ellie and our son got home late, after the trick or treating started and after I figured out how to get rid of all the sugary snacks bought for this occasion. The plan was for him and I to go door to door asking for the usual treats. He did not want that so his mom took him up and down the street to get treats.
He got home well before the trick or treating ending and thought it was the best thing to run inside when some came trick or treating and get a piece of his candy to give away. He had much more fun giving away his candy than he did getting it.
I don't think he was really attached to his candy as some kids are, don't think he completely understand what trick or treating is, but I just could not be prouder of his for his desire and willingness to share what he was given. He does love to do what I do but I think this was more than that, since I was parsing out candy from a bowl but he ran inside to get his store of candy.
Truly amazing.
The angels of children are constantly praising God.
