SNOW!

Tripp loves, loves, loves the snow! Recently, we have had quite a bit of snow - 2 snow days, a couple of late starts and 1 early dismissal.....I'm going to be in school until the middle of June!

We had an early dismissal today and it was snowing when I picked Tripp up from daycare. He immediately started saying "Sna!" - that's Snow in Tripp tongue....and he meant now! I bundled him up and started for the car. When Tripp realized we were not going to play he started to throw a fit! (It was very difficult to strap him into his car seat.) To calm him I started to sign the ABC's and he calmed down. When we got home and I started to unlock the door, he threw another fit! Sna! Sna! Sna! Luckily when he realized we were inside to get his snow pants and boots on, he calmed down.

Tears and Screaming instantly replaced with Smiles and Laughter.

A new trick?

While I was shoveling, I would chase Tripp around with the snow. Then he got brave and instead of running, he charged! He climbed onto the shovel and rode it. When I got to the end, I dumped him off of the shovel with the rest of the snow. He immediately got up, ran back around and jumped back on!
