Last week we had our second big snow storm of the season. During the first one, I was potty training Claire so we never ventured outside. With my giant belly making it very hard to do anything, I finally got Claire bundled up in her new snow suit and last year's mittens. After what seemed like forever, we were finally ready to go outside. Claire wasn't so sure about the snow as you would guess. By how she was acting I could tell that she thought she would get wet if she stepped in it or touched it. So, I took a few steps and then sat down in the snow and told her I wasn't wet. I could tell she was surprised. Instantly, she followed my lead and plopped down in the snow. She said "Mommy, I not cold...wet!".
The fun lasted for about 10 minutes and then she was ready to go inside. That is definitely one thing I hate about playing in the snow with little ones. It takes 20 minutes to put everything on, they only want to play for 10, and then it takes another 10 minutes to put everything away. Plus, you have to add more time 'cause my 8 month pregnant body moves a lot slower than usual.
Despite all of the hard work, I am very excited to take Claire sledding next time it snows. I'm anxious to see how much she'll like it.

Darling snow outfit. Hope she gets many opportunities to use it. Maybe you should have bought an outfit that would work for a boy too. Take some video of her sledding. I'm sure she'll have lots of fun.
