I'm dreaming of a white Thanksgiving....

I just have to share with you what a pleasure it was to watch Spiderman see his first snow this week. The weather had predicted some for Wed. and he woke up asking when it would come. By late morning the rain started to turn to a fine, wet snow and despite it blowing horizontally, Spiderman could not wait - he had to experience this for himself. He ran out in his bare feet and short sleeves which, you can imagine, didn't last long. We gradually added more and more clothing until he decided he was warm enough and he went back out for his first real "taste" of snow (literally). He just could not stop grinning and giggling.

The only disappointment was that we never really got enough snow, maybe a half inch at best. He had visions of snow drifts up to the windows but really, he was not about to waste this first chance. Although Spiderman really wanted to make a snowman, he had to settle for throwing snowballs. He and Jaybird decided they were going sledding and they would just find a way to make it work. They were outside for hours. The joy of this child is just contagious! Here is a picture that captures the moment.
