Snow Day

So yesterday we had some snow here. The first snow of the season came while I was in the hospital with Graham, so this is the first time that I have had an opportunity to play outside with Nate. I was not sure how he would react to the snow this year.

Last year we had the whole snow get up, expensive matching snow suit, boots, etc. Nate was not so fond of being out in the snow. He would not walk in it, and he did not want to play in it. He really wanted nothing to do with it other than to look at it from a safe distance. Of course, in his defense he was only a year and half old, and you know, the snowsuit and boots made it awfully difficult to move under the best circumstances, much less in 4 inches of snow. You have to click on the picture to get a good look at the face he is making.

So this year we still have the expensive snow suit (although I was smart last year and got it in February for $10) and we have the boots that light up, and fancy gloves that are waterproof. I took him outside yesterday while it was snowing, and he didn't like that too much, but his face was getting wet and cold. Today it took him a little while, but he finally decided that it would be ok to touch the snow.

After he touched the snow and he didn't melt, he decided that it was an ok thing to play with, and eventually had a great time. He enjoyed picking up a tiny amount of snow "a snowball" and throwing it all over the place, including but not limited to my shoes and pants. He also enjoyed washing the window with the snow.


We also made a tiny snowman. Well, ok, I made the snowman, Nate was not so interested in the snowman. He has a huge smile.

And finally here is Graham. He has more and more cute pictures these days. I had one with a smile, but well, he looked really funny aside from the smile. Anyway, that is it. I just had to throw one of him in so he would not feel left out. But he's crying now, so I'd better wrap this up.
