Snow Days

11.9.12 First big snow of the winter!  We knew you didn't remember snow from last year so  we took you outside to look at it.  You were so confused!  We weren't sure if you would get cold and just want to go inside, but instead you wanted to get down and explore more.

Now that I knew you were very interested in playing in the snow, I decided I better get you some snow clothes.  I looked   in at least 7 stores for baby boy boots but couldn't find any in your tiny size - so we ended up having to buy baby girl boots instead!  You loved them though because they're fur-lined inside and very comfy and warm.  Plus, your snowsuit covers the tops of the boots anyway so no one can even tell that they're girlie boots.

After we bought snow clothes, we took you out to play.  I had bought an inner tube too so that we could pull you around.  There's a small hill by our house so we pulled you down the hill a few times.  You weren't saying or doing anything so we were about ready to take you inside, but then as we pulled you up the hill to go home all of a sudden you went "wheee. . ." as if you finally had decided it was fun!  After that of course we kept playing and got a lot of smiles and giggles out of you.

Proof that you ended up liking it.

After a while you just wanted to walk around the neighborhood.   Your snow things were so bulky though that  you walked pretty stiff and when you fell over we had to help you up because you couldn't do it yourself!

Your snow get-up

As a sidenote, this has been the worst weather that Utah has had for  years and years.  Daddy had never even seen a winter this bad here, and I hadn't since I was a child!  Since we live in a windy city whenever there is fresh snow we have a real problem with snowdrifts and wind knocking the puppies over when we take them out. . .
