Natural Habitat

A creature rarely seen online...

My little man in his natural habitat.

We took him trick or treating for the first time this year.

At the first house, the little guy tried to barge through the door like he owned the place. The next stop he attempted to forcefully steal the entire plastic pumpkin of treats out of the hosts hands.

After that he got the idea.

I mean he really got the idea. He worked those people like a champ.

He seems to innately sense when being super cute will get him extra stuff (and just about everybody threw something extra in his bag after his super sweet thank you).

He's already got flirting down to an art form. I'm afraid to even think about what it might be like once my little Casanova hits high school.

The holidays are so much more fun when you have kids. I can't wait for Christmas.

I like the kid already..reminds me of a little con man many years ago named Buffalo Dick..:)

Blue Bunny said...

From all you've described of him, it is no surprise to me he is a smart, sweet charming little dazzler on the Hallowe'en scene too.

Yep, kids do make holidays more fun. Enjoy every minute. They grow up so very fast.

Have a terrific day. :)

We had a wee dino with us this year, too, and his candy bucket was too heavy for him to carry at the end of the night!

I would love to borrow him next time I go for a bank loan. I'm sure they will give me all the money I need. No they won't banks don't do "cute" sadly

Sandy said...

Sounds like quite the character.

Michele said...

I would have given that cutie extra and my husband would have handed him the whole bucket.

CynthiaK said...

That's some kind of cute little creature you've got there! Sounds like he's mastered the art of the trick or treat as well.

I'm excited about the holidays, too. I love Christmas!

I think our kids were channeling each other! I had to extricate Sprite from one house and every time I reminded her to say thank you, she went back and scored more. Poor home owners never saw what hit them.

I just want to give that little dinosaur a big hug! He's so cute!

Jen said...

I totally have to agree, holiday's are more fun with kids. This year our little kids totally got trick or treating too.

Your little guys is so cute.

Jeanne said...

Went out with 5 of the g-kids Saturday night, which was waaaay fun. He looks too adorable in his dinosaur costume.

Dawn said...

What an adorable dinosaur in his natural habitat.

I know what you mean, Halloween was so much fun this year with the kids. Oh, and Elliot raked in waaaaaaaaay more candy than Graham since she played the cute part and he played the nonchalant cookie monster.

He's so cute! Are you sure he's not going to be a politician when he grows up? ;)

Oh My Goddess said...

People pleasing skills go a long way in this world!

ADORABLE! I'm so glad that you coaxed that shy little critter out for us all to admire :)

mama-face said...

He's the kid you can't wait to see on your doorstep. He deserves the extra candy. :)

So cute!!! I love seeing creatures in their natural habitat -- especially cute ones like this!

And I love your trick-or-treating story.

I agree, holidays with kids are amazing! He looks super cute in his little T-Rex costume! I love it!

What a scene stealer.

WhisperingWriter said...

How precious :)

Jenn said...

Next year you should train him to con only the best candies aka the ones you like the most. With that kind of charm he would have people exhanging it at the door!
