How to Trick or Treat (in Five Easy Steps)

There was a lot of trick or treat practicing going on at school leading up to Halloween.  Noah's teacher broke it down in five easy steps.  Step 1:  Put on your costume. Step 2: Knock on the door.  Step 3:  Say "trick or treat."  Step 4: Get candy.  Step 5: Say "thank you."  These kids were carrying around cards all week reminding them of these five easy steps.  Seems like something so simple, but to a kid on the spectrum, sometimes something as simple as Halloween can be a bit challenging.  Last year, I was amazed that the teachers were able to get Noah to wear his costume with  no trouble.  This year I had no doubt that not only would Noah wear his costume, but that he would really have some fun with the whole holiday.  I tagged along at school to see his trick or treating prep before the big day.

Put on your costume.  Check.

Momma, are you watching this? Time to do some knocking.

Trick of treat!  Get some candy in your bag.

Don't forget to say "thank you."  This trick or treating stuff is F-U-N.
