S N O W ! ! !
We got at least 8 inches of snow yesterday and overnight. Some of the drifts are well over 2 feet high.
After breakfast this morning, I went out to clear the driveway. When I finshed clearing the driveway, I came inside to get Eric. Mommy and I got him dressed up to play in the snow…layers…snug-fitting pajamas, sweatshirt, snow pants, hat, coat, and boots.
I bought a sled for Eric just after Christmas. It is a little small for his long legs, but it has a strap so that he cannot fall out. He was a little unsure of the snow when we first went out. Obviously, this is not the first time he has seen snow, but this is a lot of snow! I walked out into the yard, and he of course wanted to follow. I picked him up and set him down in the snow. He looked around, tried to move his feet, and promptly asked to be “up!” He was simply unable to pick his feet up to walk through the snow, which was up well past his knees.
I picked him up and set him onto his sled, secured the strap around his waist, and away we went. I pulled him around the front yard, sometimes walking, and sometimes running. He was enjoying all of it! Mommy came outside to take some pictures. I pulled Eric around the north side of the house, through the back yard, and around the south side of the house to the front yard on the other side of the driveway. the snow was drifted very high on the south side of the house. It was not an easy walk, let alone pulling Eric, too. I was tired, and Eric was outside long enough. (Eric is just getting over an infection in both ears, so Mommy and I did not want him outside too long.)
