Candy Fairy

The candy fairy came to our house the night of Halloween. Below you will see a picture of N with all the candy he got while trick or treating! As I said in a previous post, we let him keep five....err ten pieces of candy for himself and he gave the rest to the candy fairy. N told me what to write in a note to the candy fairy which went like this, "Dear Candy Fairy. Please take all this candy. Sincerely, The Cat in the Hat." Simple and to the point. N left his candy bag and the note in the kitchen for the fairy to find. I got to thinking, if we left the bag-o-candy outside his bedroom door he'd be able to sit outside his room and eat candy all night! So, in the kitchen it stayed. The Candy Fairy found the bag, emptied it and filled it with other goodies. She also left a clever note that went like this:

Thank you for leaving me your candy.

You really are quite Dandy!

For being such a big boy,

I shall leave you things that bring you joy.

I heard you were the Cat in the Hat for Trick or Treat

I think you’ll find this movie very neat.

Bubble bath is something you want, I’m told.

I brought you some to hold.

There were two more lines, but they included N's name, so I will omit them here..

Sincerely, The Candy Fairy

N was very receptive to this tradition, so I think we'll ask the Candy Fairy to return next year. N's enjoying the Dr Seuss movie that the CF left him. He also loved taking a bath with the bubbles the CF left. I've got cute photos of him in the bath tub making a bubble hat, bubble mohawk and bubble beard "just like Grandpa L's." And the Tinkerbell vitamins are a hit.
