Paul's snow adventure

8:15am
It is 15 degrees outside, but the garbage cans need to go out for weekly pick-up so I bundle up just to walk 20feet down the driveway and put the cans out. Back inside Paul looks out the window and gets very jealous. Upon returning Paul asks (in his non-verbal way) to go outside.

Why not I think!

8:25am
We are finally ready to go outside.




8:27am
The first thing Paul notices ... no not snow, the garbage truck which I will admit is pretty fascinating for a 1 year old.



8:30am
The second thing Paul notices is how annoying gloves are.



8:34am
After the gloves, he continued to roam around getting into everything but the snow. Eventually I give up on self-discovery and introduce the two. I don't think he knows what to make of the cold wet stuff. Maybe that is why he's been ignoring it.



8:35am
Upon realizing that his hands are cold (remember it is 15 degrees)Paul begins to cry and we make our way back inside.

All in all we spent about as much time getting ready to go out as we did outside, but it was an adventure nonetheless. Maybe next time I will have better luck getting Paul to keep his gloves on.



For kicks, here is a full visual of Paul in his snow suit. Oh how he loves just being outside.
