There were lots of complements on Newt’s Halloween costume. Exclamations on how cute he was and how inventive his parents were to dress him as a worm poking his head from an apple. Of course the apple was actually a small pumpkin but Newt had grown and an apple wasn’t big enough anymore.

“I cuuuuuute,” Newt cooed wiggling in his bath water.

“Yes you were and are,” Andy agreed, “very cute.”

“Cute enough to nibble on,” Simon smiled though he was contemplating nibbling on a different fruit, more of a sensitive plum shaped fruit. Newt should fall asleep early tonight.

It's because he's cute, isn't it. *grins*

Aww - a little worm in an apple :)

And of course Simon is thinking ahead ;P

Believe me, parents of young children plan ahead.
*nods head*

aww so cute - though I suspect he'd need a good wash after ;)

Newt is trademark cute, said the proud author.
Pumpkins, if hollowed out and allowed the insides to dry a bit, aren't slimy inside as long as they aren't done too far in advance so as to start rotting. Still, baths have a soothing effect and are part of the bedtime routine that helps a child to fall asleep when you want them too. Parental planning in action.

Hmm, wasn't there a djinn baby with a pumpkin fancy too. They would have fun together on a play date.

There was a djinn baby who did that and some concern that the pumpkin would rot around the baby, so how to get the little djinn to opt for another container.
Good memory.

Newt knows it's just pretend, he's no worm after all. But he's still cuuuuute in his opinion.
