First Snow

This weekend brought the first snow of the season...and, James' first real experience with the white stuff. Mom and dad had flashbacks of their own childhood while dressing James for the big event. Once he was in his snow suit and we felt certain that there was no possible way he could get up on his own if he fell, (Christmas story anyone?) we all ventured outdoors.

Important lesson: mittens and little hands do not mix well when it comes to functionality. After many frustrating attempts to pick up snow, his shovel and his outdoor truck, James decided that the white stuff was just ok. Good trial run for mom and dad. We all took an afternoon field trip to Target to get better mittens and search for a good toboggen (not just a measely sled, we need something that will go fast for our thrill seeking son). The search is still on, but the season is young.
