3 inches of snow is "yucky"
Beautiful, storybook-quality snow started to fall on our fair town at around 7 last night. The snow, with its obscenely large, fluffy flakes, literally sparkled in the streetlights as it fell. We woke up this morning to a healthy 3" accumulation, though the university salt trucks had made sure that driving surfaces were completely snow-free. Dada and I showed Isaac the winter wonderland through our front window, to which he responded, "Oh no." All his beloved cars were completely covered. You could see his little brain already forming negative opinions about this strange "snow" business: Where did this white plague come from? Would it ever go away, with its car-tainting nastiness?
Regardless of his indoor impressions of the white stuff, I figured I wouldn't be a mommy worth my salt if my little boy stayed inside this morning. He doesn't have a snow suit or a really heavy jacket yet (because we suck and are lazy), but surely 4 or 5 layers of clothes does the trick. I promise he donned gloves immediately after these pictures were taken.
"Kicking the snow could possibly be fun..."
"...but that leads to the white stuff getting stuck on my shoe. And that is YUCKY."
"Will you fools please stop taking pictures and get this crap off my shoe?" (note him saying "shoe")

Snow angels? Are you kidding? ;) He wouldn't even TOUCH the snow. He was very interested that we would make snowballs and throw them at each other or on the ground, but God forbid one should get near (or on) him.
I am hoping this is something kind of like his 20-minute-long aversion to the pool. -- that a sufficiently long exposure will convince him that it is not, in fact, "yucky".
Oh so cute! I think Liam will be the same way. May I ask where yo got Isaacs boots and if you like them (i.e. you don't need grease and a crowbar to get them on?)
Susie -- he actually has on his brand-new red Sorel rain boots, obtained from an unknown location by Grandma Jane. They are probably too thin for snowboots, but we put a few pairs of socks on him because they are a size too big. They come highly recommended -- they have a very easy zipper closure and Isaac is so entranced by their bright redness that he wants to wear them around the house.
Ahhh! Seriously lame west coast weather. I'd love to get some snow pics. LB did a very similar thing with sand so I wonder if she'd be like Isaac and not wanna touch the stuff. Prolly.
You are an adorable pregnant lady, btw.
