[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We took DD out last year at 1.5 and she had a blast. I ate all her candy (which was about 10 peices because we only hit about 5 houses). I am much more liberal with treats and didn't mind her eating a piece or two of candy, but I just like candy and pretty much stole candy from my baby. Thankfully, one of our neighbors handed out snack packs of pretzels, so she was excited about that and I think I let her have a piece of plain chocolate. The candy was secondary to the excitement of dressing up and walking around with a "purse" knocking on doors collecting whatever (it might a well have been bottle caps and dried beans).

I suggest getting rid of the candy by the next day. "Halloween is over, sweetie. That was it for the candy. We'll do it again next year! Wasn't that fun?!"

I had to double check when this was posted since I could have written.  DD was also 1.5 and LOVED trick or treating.  She remembers it from last year and is already talking about dressing up.  DH and I snacked on a few pieces of her loot but the next day she had no recollection of the candy part of the event.

Follow his lead.  If he's nervous or shy, don't do it.  Plan on only 2 or 3 houses where he knows the neighbors.  Go out as soon as things get going in your neighborhood and be back home quickly.
