It's the middle of January and we finally got our first real snowfall of the year!! Edison got a little taste of snow last winter but we were so much more excited this year because he can now go out and play in it!
When we got up yesterday and looked out the window, Edison was very fascinated by all the white stuff. He kept pointing and wanting to look out. About 5 minutes after we got up to start the day our power went out. I went downstairs and discovered that the coffee and waffles I planned to make for breakfast wasn't going to happen. I kept trying to turn on the light switches, forgetting that the lights weren't going to turn on. So, out we ventured in the snow for some breakfast.
After breakfast, we quickly ran into Superstore to get a few fun snow toys... a big toboggan for all of us to fit on, and a little one to pull Edison around in. We came home and started the bundling up process, excited to go out and play.
We decided to go over to my Dad and Ren's, where there are acres of untouched snow for us to mess up. Jonathan was on a mission to fly his (white) plane in the snow... so off we went.
Edison wore his snow pants for the first time. He was very unimpressed. By the time we got his boots on, he was even more unimpressed. The gloves and jacket put him over the edge. He did not love being bundled. He hated being pulled around on the toboggan. He stood on the porch and whined for pretty much the entire time that we were outside.
Why am I wearing this?!?
Getting his plane ready for flight
White plane on snow doesn't make for great pictures
White plane in blue sky... much better
Coming in for a landing
It got a boo boo
The farm in the snow
"Mom, I have had enough!"
His not-so-subtle hint
So his first play day in the snow wasn't the greatest. Snow is in the forecast for the next few days, so we're hoping he might like tobogganing down a little hill. We'll try that next. Or maybe snow is just not his thing until he gets a bit older. We'll see...
