Addison absolutely loves the snow, what kids doesn't? This was her first, real experience in the snow, as last year she was too tiny to understand what the white stuff was all about.Last weekend when the first round hit, we bundled her up in her new snow suit, and headed to the park. Like always at the park, she demanded a ride on the swing, which was a cold activity on a snowy, windy day! She loved grabbing the snow and throwing it into the air...so silly!
The next round of snow produced quite a bit more, which made for lots of fun! I ventured out with Addison on my own, while Chris slept, and I wish I would have waited for Daddy. After our frolicking was over (Mommy was COLD!) I attempted to bring our little snow angel in from the park, and she had other ideas. She proceeded to SCREAM and FLAIL in the middle of the street, not wanting to go home. I tried EVERYTHING to get this child home, including bribery with cookies, but nothing worked. I had to carry her while she arched her back and screamed bloody murder. We finally made it home, and she continued to scream like her legs were cut off. It took her about 20 minutes to calm down. I don't want to take her out anymore if she's going to do this each time we need to come inside. It's hard to reason with a 20 month old!
This is the swing ride, prior to our middle-of-the-street-melt-down.

Sometimes I really do think Addison and Bailey were twins in a previous life! Bailey is loving the snow too! All the kids in the neighborhood love to take her down on the sled which she squeals in delight the whole way. Then when Ron took her home same thing happened! She screamed the whole way! I stayed with Brett to sled more and could hear Bailey (about two blocks away) still screaming as Ron got her in the house! This stage is very hard to reason with :) Enjoy your holidays! I posted pics in Facebook of our snow play.

Addison, I wish you and Cooper could play in the snow together. He loves it just as much as you. Maybe...just maybe if the weather gets better we can come see you today!
xoxo
