A Bird The Snowbunny

I know that this is probably a little hard to believe, but yesterday afternoon was the first time A Bird has gone outside and played in the snow. I know, crazy right? We tried a few times when she was younger to take her outside, but she didn't like the cold and the snow blew in her face so she would cry and want to go back into the house.

Then came the battle of the boots. A Bird absolutely flat ot refused to wear snow boots. We would put them on and she would throw a huge hissy fit until she kicked them off. Well I guess it wasn't just the boots, it was a winter hat and mittens too. She would just take them off as quick as you could get them on.

So then finally this winter comes and she is actually excited about playing in the snow. She wants to do it, she just can't wait, and then what happens? No snow. This winter has been one of the mildest winters of my life. In a normal year we would be buried with snow from November to the end of March, this year we didn't get anything more significant than a dusting until January 13th when we only got about 4-6 inches.

So this past Sunday afternoon we bundled up into snowpants, boots, hat, mittens and winter coats and made the best of it. We couldn't stay out long because it was single digits, but A Bird thoroughly enjoyed herself.

Who knows, maybe if it keeps up like this we may tackle sledding next.
