Of his own volition, Jack played for an extended period of time in their dog's crate. He even shut the door in Lucy's (the dog) face! Luckily she was well behaved about it and didn't mind sharing.

Crate the baby?
Hmm, not sure this is the parenting lesson, we wanted to share with our friends who are going to have a baby in April.

Halloween Wrap-up
We got about 100 trick-or-treaters last night! Jack had lots of fun taking the candy out of the bowl, handing it to daddy or throwing it around. Steve brought him out to a few neighbors too, so he added to our stash:)
Now that I am part of a lot of local parents lists/communities, I learned that it is now requested that you have a nut-free bowl in addition to the regular candy bowl. Basically any chocolate is considered suspect as they have nearly all been made in a "facility that also processes nuts" and some kids won't even be allowed to eat non-nut candy that is in the same bowl as the nut-candy. Yikes! The non-nut bowl can have little toys, stickers or sugary-candy (with no allergy issues). I was interested in that 4-5 kids were excited about having a nut-free bowl. Still a small percentage, but they seemed really happy, so I suppose it was worth the very minor effort.
Jack and I also went to a Parade for tots/preschoolers in town in the late afternoon. It was quite cute and I would say there were at least 200 people there which surprised me!

Chicago
Well we just back from a lovely weekend in Chicago! Besides the main event (Whitney & Ian's beautiful wedding), we had a chance to go to the Shedd Aquarium, Millenium Park and walk around Navy Pier.
