The Real Deal

So thanks to all who commented, I was able to convince Eric to wear his driver's suit to go out Trick-or-Treating.  It was a huge success.  He went down to the basement to get his suit on and when he came up Otto took one look at him and said with the most adorable tone of true love, "Race car driver".  If he wasn't the coolest thing in Otto's mind before, he for sure is now.

Otto was totally taken with the whole outfit.  He loved the helmet and wanted to wear it, even though it weighs about half as much as he does.  He also really liked the earplugs and wanted to wear them as well.

The suit is made for driving so Eric wore it while we drove to some friends houses a few blocks away.  We weren't sure how Otto was going to take the whole concept of trick-or-treating and people being dressed up so we thought the car would be good for a quick exit if necessary.  Turns out we could have walked there and back, Otto had a blast.  It did not take him long to say trick-or-treat on command if he thought they would give him candy.  He also really liked seeing all the other kids dressed up.

The two of them were quite the team.
