Two days ago I need to go to the grocery store. It had been snowing all day, and I was in a hurry. I put Bode in his coat and hat, opened the door for him and told him to get in the car. I then proceeded to work on Ryder, get him ready. Meantime, outside the snow had started to accumulated maybe 2 or 3 inches on the lawn and none on the driveway.
I loaded Ryder into the car, and walked around the back of the car and started to call for Bode to load him. Bode was standing at the edge of the lawn looking down at a single foot print he had made in the snow. With innocent little eyes, he turns to me, puts his arms up as if he was looking for his bottle and could not find it, looks me in the eye and says.. "WOW!!"
We never made it to the store. If my son is excited about snow, you better believe I am going to enjoy it with him. For the next two hours, Bode and I rolled in it, threw it, ran in it, enjoyed it as much as possible and made a snow man. When we were done, we no longer had snow in the front yard.
After returning in to the house hours later, Bode walked to the back window, and yelled, MAMA.. pointing at the snow, as if to say, "Look mom it is in the backyard too!"
My thoughts exactly son... "WOW" - And to think, the fun in the snow has just begun for BODE!
