my kid just wants to hang out at the halloween party instead of trick or treating this year. he's only 8. loves all the decorations and stuff though so i'm just going to let him enjoy hanging around and handing out candy with the adults outside i guess.
he's got an egg allergy and braces. so no eggs or gummy/sticky/chewy things. essentially no candy. before he had braces, he had other allergies. he pauses before he eats anything new and asks what's in it. been like that since he could talk. 😂

Allergies AND braces! That’s a tough combo for candy!!
Ours asks ‘billy food?’ Or ‘Gaga food?’ (That’s what he calls his sister) since he was around two. So he’s definitely figuring it out! We’re lucky that so far we’ve found a pretty close food for everything he can’t have -except for pizza really.

I like that. My daughter is a type 1 diabetic. She went trick or treating. At a closed event this year And she picked out maybe 20 of her favorite candies to ration over the course of a week. She'll get more and do the same thing but then she just gives the rest to her brothers.

I’m glad she still gets to participate! People who are lucky enough to not have to worry about safely doing regular kid stuff can’t imagine how good it feels when your kid who needs a little extra care is able to experience something that healthy kids get to do all the time!
