One afternoon after work I let Sylvia stomp around the snowy yard in her boots for about an hour. She had soooo much fun and was not very happy when we had to go in for dinner. After dinner, I went off to a doctor's appointment and Sylvia and John spent another hour or so playing in the snow for real: snow pants and all.
Sylvie was sooo excited to tell me about the snow angels when I got home. I am so glad she got to have a little fun in the snow this winter. All of the snow this winter seems to disappear fairly quickly. It doesn't take much to make her smile: a few snow flakes on her tongue and she is smiling ear to ear!
