It snowed yesterday, the first real snowfall of the season. Grady was not amused. His introduction to snow started well because he was allowed to wear his boots (he loves his boots. He would wear his boots all day if I let him. Whenever I walk by the closet he looks up at me hopefully. "Boot? Boot?" It's like he won the damn lottery whenever it actually is time to wear his boots. He has this silicone jug for rinsing his hair in the bath. It sits on the side of the bath and every time Grady walks into the bathroom he tries to wedge his foot into it. "Boot?" "No bud, no boot." You've never seen such disappointment.)
So we put on our boots and we trekked out into the snow. It wasn't so bad at first, shuffling our way through piles of fluffy, untouched snow.
And then Grady tripped. Was Grady wearing mittens? No, he was not. Boots are the greatest thing in the world but mittens are of the devil. Keep up.
The look of utter disgust was priceless. I cannot describe the confused, angry, mewling sounds that came from his mouth.
Our snow adventure was short but memorable. For both of us.
Gavin HATED the snow when we first introduced it to him. Maybe it had something to do with the puffy coat, hat, puffy mittens, snow pants AND boots. The kid was a marshmallow and could barely move. I guess I don't blame him.
ReplyDeleteGrady makes for an awfully cute "I'm not having fun in the snow" photo.
That picture is PRICELESS, especially now that I know the backstory. HEE!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably one of the funniest posts I have read from you in a while. I like them all but somehow this one is super funny.
ReplyDeleteI love him (and you) so much.
ReplyDeleteEven making that unsure face he's the cutest.
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME! The first time it really snowed here this fall, my nephew stood at the window yelling at it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad it's too cold to play in it with him right now, but I know my other brother (not his Dad), has bought him a sled for Christmas and Daddy plans to attach his GoPro camera to him when it's a little warmer out. So stoked.
