Chick or Cheat!

Maya's Hallowe'en costume arrived today (big thank you to Granny!!) and she tried it on after she woke up from her nap. Not only does it fit perfectly but boy, does it ever look adorable! She was a little reluctant to put the hat on but with the help of a mirror, her 'Who Said Boo?' book ("Look, Maya - those witches wear hats. You have to wear a hat to be a proper witch") and dire admonitions about how she wouldn't get sweeties on Hallowe'en unless she wore a hat (isn't bribery a wonderful thing?), she finally capitulated.

One pumpkin basket and one kitchen door later, there we were practising how to Trick or Treat. The Maya way...

"Knock knock who's there??"
"Gosh, I wonder who this can be... " *open kitchen door* "... Goodness me, it's a witch!"
"Chick or Cheat! Give seepies please!" (seepies = sweeties. You probably have to be 2 to understand that one).

I'm working on getting her to understand that it's rude to actually ask for the sweeties in advance. I'm also working on getting her to take the costume off...
