Trick-or-Treating

Okay, I will confess. I keep imagining dressing up my seven month old son in his Halloween costume and taking him trick-or-treating. Now, this is silly, to say the least. He can't eat candy yet, nor would he get much out of the process!

So I have been wondering when exactly is a child old enough to trick-or-treat? A friend offered this advice:

"If he is old enough to say 'trick-or-treat,' 'please,' and 'thank you,' then he is old enough to trick-or-treat!"

Sound advice from another mom. So I guess this year, my family and I will pass out candy to the other little goblins that come to our door.
