Halloween has come and gone and I think, all in all, that it was a success. Markus dressed as a monkey and considering that he's not a big fan of being dressed in a lot of clothes, he did very well. At 3:00 we met up with his partners in crime Deville, Luis, Oscar and Stella to participate in the Hoboken Halloween Parade. Markus did ok in his stroller for a while, but as is usually the case these days, after a while he became very restless. Thankfully, Dave had come home early to join us, so I had some help dealing with the squirmy dude. His father's strategy tends to be buying toys (an inflatable Spider man in this instance) or bribing him with sweets (his first Twix bar). Neither one worked for very long, but it was a beautiful day and once we returned to the park to play after the parade, all was well.
p.s. Just so his father doesn't get to pissed at me - I also use the "sweets strategy" quite 
often to tame the beast :)
