Halloween came and went successfully. After asking parents at Nikolas's school if their children were taking part in Halloween festivities, and finding out that they weren't, we were worried that Halloween would be a non-event.
But thanks to Frau Chase's sewing abilities (Bat Boy costume), my program's kids and their generocity, and Frau Chase's pumpkin soup, Nikolas had a great day.
We visited the kids in the dorm where most of them live. They each had candy for Nikolas, and some even dressed up as well. Then everyone came back to our place for pumpkin carving, pumpkin soup, cupcake baking, and even a little movie watching.
Nikolas tried and liked gum for the first time!
