First time parent type of question regarding Halloween
 

Lil man will be just shy of 8 months old whenever Halloween rolls around. We plan to get him a costume, take pictures, and go to some friends' house who have boys that are 4 and 7 to enjoy the evening. I am undecided on what I should do regarding trick-or-treating, though. I mean, it's obvious that he's not old enough to walk, let alone eat candy. And I know he won't remember it anyway. So, what would you do regarding trick-or-treating? Keep in mind that, if option 3 is decided on, we would divvy up any candy lil man gets among the older boys, after the adults pick though it. :)

just let him soap up a few windows. he's too young for the candy anyway.

hey, do kids even soap up windows anymore?

Put him in a costume and take him around. The bucket isn't necessary....but if you do take one....only do it for like 10-12 houses and call it good.

just take him. some people think its ridiculous because he cant eat the candy but **** them. Its his first halloween and if u want to take him trick or treating do it

Just go to a couple family and friends houses, The pictures are the big deal, don't bother with the trick and treating after that unless you are going with other friends.

Personally as a non parent I think you'd look like a broke ass if you brought a bucket with him. I wouldn't do it at all.

This but Mommy should dress up too. What is luv going be for Halloween?

I just don't want people thinking we're greedy for candy. I still think it would be fun, though. I'm leaning towards taking him door-to-door until he just gets too heavy to hold, and then sticking him in the stroller while the older boys finish up. We're going with friends who live in a very trick-or-treating friendly neighborhood and know our friends. Just mostly unsure about him having his own bucket.

I saw a comicon picture on Facebook where a mom dressed up as Khaleesi and dressed her kids up as dragons. There's no way I'm pulling off that look, though.

I'm thinking "Isaac's Mom" will do just fine. :)

Take him around. I know my wife likes seeing the babies dressed up. But let the other kids, not just the ones with you, but the others in general, have the candy.

As a parent of a 2 year old, I think that too.

I'm thinking it would be tacky. If anyone were to offer candy (but who offers candy to a baby that young), I'd have them stick extra in the older boys' bags.

Go out for some sympathy candy.
