Jill said "No, no, no, sweetie." She reached out for him and brought him back outside as we all laughed loudly. The lady inside the door said "Happy Halloween!" and brought down a giant bowl of candy to Jackson's level. She asked him if he'd like some candy. Jackson looked at Jill to see what he should do and she told him it was OK to take a piece. He tentatively reached in to the bowl and grabbed a Reeses Peanut butter cup. He brought it to his mouth and he tried to bite the plastic. We told him "No, put that in to your bucket." He looked at his bucket to where his mom was pointing. He lifted the bucket and dropped the candy in. As the candy left his hand he lifted it and grabbed another piece of candy. And another. We had to stop him before he tried to take any more.
And the night progressed on from there. He was no longer shy, and he walked up to every house we went to. He knocked on the door, reached in to their bowls for candy, dropped it in his bucket and he would flop his hand goodbye. He had this down, he didn't need our help any more on this. He's got it figured out, thank you very much. Soon, his bucket was starting to drag because it was so heavy with candy. We tried to help him by carrying some of his candy. If we tried to take it out of his bucket he would stop and get angry. He would reach his hand up and demand for his candy to put back in his bucket. He wouldn't move again until he got it back.
This was all quite possibly the cutest thing the world has ever seen.
