It took longer to get Miss M dressed than we spent time outside. I don't mind since I wasn't sure how else we were going to spend our afternoon. I really wanted to see how she handled the snow since she had a serious distaste for grass. She was okay with it. She didn't jump in it and play but I didn't expect her to do much with the snow. I just wanted her to walk in it and not be scared. She wasn't scared until her legs got out from under her and she ended up in it and then she freaked out. It was pretty funny.
I was going to try and shovel a little because we woke up with more snow than we knew was coming. I blame our personal meteorologist (Grandma D) for not warning us. I didn't shovel much because it was heavier than I expected and Miss M wanted my shovel. I got out the sled and buckled the girl in and pulled her along. She wasn't easy to pull either since she weighs around 25 pounds. Luckily, she didn't want me to pull her very far.
She's dressed and ready.
We ran a few errands the next day (due to needing milk and our house being 49 degrees thanks to a furnace issue). I decided we only needed a few items so a shopping basket would be sufficient. Miss M wanted to carry the basket. She refused to put it down or to let me carry it for her. We ended up with two baskets. One with food in it (mine) and one with a bag of lettuce in it (hers). The problem with the basket wasn't only that it was too heavy for her but also that it essentially drug on the ground.
She is such a good listener and good helper (when she wants to be).
We were in Iowa this weekend for a friend's birthday party. Miss M and her cousins play so well together. She loves to see them and play with all their toys. It's unfortunate I don't have any pictures of them playing together. I usually let them play and entertain themselves while I enjoy not having an almost 2 year old attached to my hip! There's always next time!
