Well.....I tried....

I guess this is the way my princess prefers to deal with winter, warm from the inside looking out!

Ok, today I confirmed that Abigail is DEFINITELY her Aunt Honey's niece. Today I tried soooooooo hard to have a special day in the beautiful snow with my daughter, lets just say I failed miserably! She would have nothing to do with the pretty white stuff. I got half way through making a snow man, but couldn't complete it because it's impossible to make a snow man while holding a toddler, she wouldn't let me put her down.... then I tried taking a nice walk...nope, not happy.........then I tried bringing toys outside and even a blanket so her baby bootie wouldn't get wet....nope.......I tried blaring elmo music from the car.....nope, tried actually putting her in the warm car while I played at the window....nope. After an hour of effort and some cute photos to capture her misery I gave up. But instead of totally chucking the day up as a complete loss, I pondered..."what would make her Aunt Amy happy instead". So.....we decided to boycott the whole winter thing. I cranked up the heat, put us both in tank tops and shorts, set her noise maker on 'ocean waves' and had ourselves a lovely pedicure together on the floor. She was a new kid and soooo happy! We read books and danced in the warm nursery together. She even attempted to both paint her teddy's toes and read him a book. Once her precious 'peddi' was dry she insisted on putting on some good shiney shoes and playing. What a funny memory of a day and Amy I know you can relate. Every time she'd look up at the snow this morning instead of joy at the beauty she would start crying all over again as it fell in her eyes. Poor kid. I guess it's good we live in Virginia not Maine huh!!?!?!?

Spring time and warm weather can't get here fast enough for this baby. Sorry Bri! I know it brought you strange but adorable joy as you shoveled the walk this morning with that huge smile on your face! :)
