Snow?

Toby has been learning what snow is. Every morning after breakfast he runs over to the window and points out all the “Snow!!!” on the back porch. Sometimes when he comes in from outside he likes to pick the “Snow!!!” off his boots. And he finds it pretty funny when he runs and falls and gets a faceful of “Snow!!!” I pretty much thought we had the concept of snow down pat.

This morning we had our first blizzard. Toby looked out the window and welcomed the “snow!!!” as usual, but by the time we got out of the car at daycare it was snowing and blowing so much that he got confused;

“Mommy! Raining!”

“No, Toby- - it’s SNOWING!”

“RAINING?”

“Snowing”

“Mommy -- RAINING!!!!”

So maybe we don’t have the weather systems down perfectly. Can’t wait to try to explain to him what the freezing rain and slush is this afternoon….
