She had been playing in the snow at school when they'd go out during the day, so we knew she'd be okay out there. (we're told she mimics the older kids who are trying to make snow angels by laying on her tummy and just wiggling her arms and legs)
We'd never even seen her in her snowsuit yet, and she'd never been sledding, so today was the perfect day for it.
We went over to my mom's house. It's not far from ours so we didn't have to worry about traveling on bad roads. She has a small hill in her yard that was just about the right size. Daddy and Harper went first.
She cries at the bottom for a moment, and Rob yells up that she got snow in her face.
But when we asked her if she wanted to go again she said yes. So then it was Mommy's and Harper's turn to go together.
We rode down in the same track that Daddy and Harper had made and we went pretty fast!
Fast enough that I got a little worried about the trees and brush ahead, and so I stuck my foot out to slow us down. It veered us off to the left.
And I know she looks pretty happy in that last picture, but the truth is that she's crying again. When I stuck my foot in the snow, I totally whitewashed her. (hanging my head in shame) Look at how much snow I cleaned off the sled - all of it landed there after hitting my sweet babe in the face. Ouch.
But she got right back on the sled for the ride up!
And when I asked her if she wanted to go again she said yes! I couldn't believe it after getting a face full of snow! So we set her up on the sled with Daddy and then she started crying. She was done. Two runs were enough for her so we put the sled away.
But she didn't want to go inside yet either, so we let her loose to explore on her own.

And then.... she she called it quits!
