Winter wonderland

It's officially here: winter. We have accumulated snowfall and temps steady in the 30's during the day. Today we busted out Cassidy's new snowsuit (which I bought last winter, fingers crossed that it would fit properly this year, and it does!) and boots and bundled her up. The last time she set foot on snow, she didn't know what to do. (Remember that video from last year? She just kind of stood there, frozen, unsure how to navigate this cold, crunchy white stuff.) Well, this year is a different story altogether. She confidently made her way out into the yard without so much as a second thought. She had fun helping Daddy shovel the driveway, and she had a blast getting rides in both the big scoop shovel and her little red sled. Yep, she's hooked on winter already. It's going to be a fun few months! We didn't even know one could play with summertime balls in the snow! Cassidy showed us how it's done today.

She loves her balls. LOVES them. She decided they would eat lunch with her. I fought it at first and then thought, oh, who cares really? They're easier to clean than her stuffed kitty, which yesterday got covered in her breakfast yogurt. 2-year old fun is like no other.
