Off To Fight the Goblins


Halloween, a holiday every child looks forward to.  There's the costumes, candy, parties, and don't forget the spooky decorations.  What fun!  Fun... 


Maybe not if you're two and you have a sensitive soul.  If you're afraid of the dump truck Grammy and Papa J gave you for your first birthday.  Or the fake vomit your siblings throw at your feet (Oh, the fun they've had!).  Or your Buzz Lightyear costume!  Fun... maybe not so much.

The costumes elicited uncontrollable crying and even the candy couldn't bribe RJ through the frightening decorations to the doors without clawing at my arms.

So how do you convince a sensitive two-year-old to dress up and fight the goblins?  You play to his weakness. 

Football player anyone?  Poor RJ!
