Ben had a great time Trick or Treating with his sisters! It was also his sister Klara's birthday today! She turned 6. She celebrated in her classroom yesterday because they were having a parade at school today. So, he also got to join in on that yesterday. Some people are a little skiddish about letting a child who had a heart transplant go door to door trick or treating. They think they might get sicker by being exposed to all the various people. I did think about that. But ultimately, we wanted to let him live. We wanted Ben to be treated the same as any child, and especially the same as his sisters. So, he dressed up as the monkey that he is around this house, and grabbed his bucket and went off in the freezing winds to get some candy :) Yes, it was about 40 degrees out with 40 mph winds and all three of my kids wanted to go trick or treating. Especially Klara! But, Klara was the first to say, "I want to go home now." So, Klara and I went home first and Ben and Abby stayed out a bit longer with Joe. Then, after they got back, we sang Happy birthday to Klara and ate her favorite dinner of chicken nuggets. The next day we had breakfast out (her choice) and visited my grandma. A very nice weekend!
