Playing in the snow

We've fired up the snowpants and winter gear a few times so far to go out to play in the snow.
Joaquin is a little more tentative around the snow. It's hard to walk in, and boots and snowpants are very restricting. He doesn't like to wear mittens or gloves but then whines and cries if his hands get wet from the snow. He likes to be on the clean sidewalk areas rather than tromping in the snow.

Getting all the gear on is work! Joaquin is not sure that all this fuss is worth it for 10 minutes of outside time.


But it's totally worth it to see a bundled toddler who can barely move.


Art pulled Joaquin on the sled on the path near our house and Joaquin sat quietly and enjoyed the ride for a while.



See! He's having a blast!

Try to contain your excitement Joaquin! The snow stuff isn't too bad, just takes some getting used to. I like to use my sand toys to shovel and dig in the snow.
