We had over 2 feet of snow this weekend, in what has been alternately termed "Snowmaggedon" and "Snowpocalpyse." Either way, it meant Joe and I each spent a few hours attempting to dig out our cars and Nicholas spent a good part of the last two days staring intently out the window and smiling. He loves watching the snow. He was moderately interested to walk out in it as well, but has absolutely no interest in touching it and no understanding of playing in it. We have gotten more snow than Maryland really ever does, but it is wasted on him.
But, even though we couldn't get a picture of Nicholas standing in the snow (because it would have gone up to his eyeballs and there was no way we were putting him in snow that high), the fact that the snow was almost as tall as he was is pretty remarkable.
The other effect of the storm is that the airport is closed for the next couple days, which means Joe is stuck here with us until Thursday. Yes, for those of you keeping track, that means he will have spent an entire week at home. But don't worry, between Thursday and the following Wednesday he will be home a grand total of 1 day. For now I'll just focus on being glad to have him here.
Oh my - that picture is incredibly adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhen Abby was an infant - the daycare brought snow inside for them to touch (and taste!) in tupperware! It was brilliant - they could experience it without freezing the rest of themselves outside. Abby recoiled at first, if I recall correctly, but got into it on the second try. Just a thought. :o)
