I Don't Eat Spiders!

So, Halloween is a big event around our household. Even before Aethan was born I spent days decorating the house and throwing parties.

Last year, Aethan went Trick-Or-Treating for the first time and it lasted about 3 houses. The first couple he knocked on the door and then gave his candy to the people passing out the candy! The third house he was so scared of the weiner dog that lived there, he had enough.

This year he is so excited! Going to school and seeing all his little friends get ready for Halloween has really gotten him in to it and he bounded out of bed this morning, ready to put on his Thomas the Train Costume.

The other day when he came home from school he went over to some of the decorations, took some fake spiders and then asked me for a plate. He sat down at the dinner table with the spiders in front of him and then proceeded to smile and exclaim "I Don't Eat Spiders!" A pause or two later he then said "I need caterpillars!" The complete sentences were such a shock that I just stood there and smiled for several minutes. The next day he found some fake eyeballs and told me he didn't eat them either.
